That's $500 CDN - they're selling some where I work. A G4, 192 RAM, 10 GB HD, keyboard+mouse, but no monitor. I think the CPU is at 375 Mhz, don't remember.
Worthwhile?

Yeah! If I could sell my G4 for $500 I would. I have a 400mgz. I can do most anything with it. Of course, 3d renderings take time but I can work nicely with 50-100 mg files in photoshop without much of huge problem. Nothing I would define as a 'stall'. Web stuff blinks by, of course.
I'd install a 80 or 120 gig drive in it to save your work and keep the 10 gig for applications. Boost the ram with a couple sticks of 250mg ram and you have a workable machine.
At least for a couple years!
Of course, $500 more would get you a faster laptop with a bigger drive.

I run a G4 350mhz with no problems, it's a bit slow on Flash and large files in Photoshop but it's generally ok. Fill it full of RAM and get a big external or internal HD and you're set. Sounds like a deal.

I'm not shure but I think you can get a better machine for that amount of money.
