I am using a B&W G3 350. It runs quite well. You can actually get a 
refurbished G4 for under $1000, so that's an option too.

I like my G3 because it has ADB, USB, and Firewire. I can use old 
accessories on the ADB bus. However, the newer G4 machines have a faster 
bus and AGP video.

It would

probably have been an easier decision if Mac OS X actually ran X

natively.  As things stand, most of my favourite programs will

 What would be a good system on which to run MacOS X? I've heard that
the

 system needs a G4 as a minimum, so I guess a cheap, used, iMac is out
of

the

 question?
