One G-4 with 20 bids and 12 hours to go is $150. Other G-4s are cheaper but have more time to go and fewer bids. Would a G-4 do what I want it to do?
Thanks,
Gerry

any mini will do that. i'm still inclined towards going with the intel chip though. how much are g4 minis going for now anyway?

Thanks, guys. Looked on Ebay and found a long list of minis for sale; some seemed quit old and low priced. The only things I want to do on the Mini is streaming video, pictures, audio, email, and internet search. Knowing which minimum specifications of a Mini I would need to do those things would allow
me to bid on the cheapest Mini.
All help greatly appreciated.

There have been several ports of OSX Intel flavor to various PCs, but
they usually only work on that single model and are often flaky.
Apple doesn't support anything but their own architecture, so one
must write all the code to access anything else.
Be nice, though, eh?  MUCH faster and more stable than XP or Vista.

it's a lot bigger project than you would think to get it to work and then
it
still doesn't work right. the only reason to do this is if you just like
the project and not to save money as minis are so cheap (399 for last
generation and 499 for this generation at microcenter.)  the mini comes
ready to use with ilife.  the only software i bought for it was the
unlocking of the higher functions of quicktime for 30 bucks. it's a real
bargain overall.

Seems to be quite a few "how to" sites saying that Leopard can be
installed on a PC.

Thanks,
