RoxStar Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 My friend's Dad is a photographer and an avid Mac lover. He just bought a new desktop a while back and he is looking to get sell his previous one. I've always toyed with the idea of having a Macintosh Computer, and I was wondering what you people think (seeing as how lucasforums has turned into my think tank ). The desktop itself is a 400mhz G4, 256 mb of ram, 30 gb HD, and is running OS X Panther. All for 200 bucks. I was thinking about using it for Photography, video editing, digital art, and other "creative things". Input would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Dude, for $200, thats really not a bad idea, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 That eMac (I think I've used the exact same model) is pretty good, it's adaquate for programs like Photoshop and things like that, and for $200 I don't think you could go wrong. The only thing is that it needs an upgrade to Tiger, which is probably less that $120 by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 200 bucks? I hate macs and I would go for that. There's the vote that matters The value is so obvious ... I would check what version of iLife is installed, and get the latest. Everything but iDVD will run on your system pretty well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
