I disagree... $400 is actually a bit expensive. Try looking on eBay, you should be able to snag one for $300 or less. If you want a little more power, try a G5 iMac, but they cost several hundred more (about 750+). If you don't need a monitor, try a G4 tower. Even though these retailed for a bit more than the iMacs, they're now generally cheaper, sometimes. Or maybe even try and find a Mac Mini. I have one of the Intel versions, and I love it!
Hope this helps.

Get the G4 MAC with the fastest processor you can and you will be happy.
I'm still using my Lampbase Imac and am very satisfied even though the Mac is 4 years old.

There are literally millions of Mac users that are still using iMac's PowerBooks with G-4's Likewise there are still many of us still using G-3's with OS-9 Operating Systems.
So at $400.00 thats cheap and I woudn't hesitate.
