Just pluged in my old reliable Mac Mini G4. I Decided to use it as a backup system for all my stuff. I was going to sell it but I would of got $300 for it, so I might as well just keep it.

Super Drive DVD RW / CD RW
VIDEO CARD ATI Radeon 9200 32MB VRam

@kbhasikevin

It now has Leopard. I dont use it anymore, I just keep it updated & likely I'll preserve it for collection. Maybe 1 day I'll be adventurous and add a faster Hard Drive. I have used it a few times as backup when my iMac went out of commission a few times for repairs, so its saved my ass quite a few times in the past & I feel terrible to get rid of it. Plus it was my first Mac.

i want to buy one of these for ma 1st mac are they any goood?:)

@PearlDrums1234 They're good and Reliable But.......I'd recommend the Intel versions. The newest one or the Previous version with the 9400m graphics. Performance is so much better than the G4. Support for the PPC is just dropping like a brick and a few years from now they're won't be many apps on market compatible for it.

for example like this video, the mac mini took a while til the booting screen came on.
