Thinking of getting a (cheap) Mac

So I was looking for a cheap but decent desktop computer,and I saw this Mac and looked into it. It seems pretty good to me, but then again what do I know? Is This a good deal? It's an (old) PowerMac G3. I think it looks pretty good, and imo looks like a good deal, even though it is refurbished. I dont really have too much money and £150 is probably the price I want to be paying, 'cause then I will have enough left over for the wi-fi card thingy. I just want it for doing work on/surfing the net, I'm not too fussed about games. Heres what you get:

 

80GB hard drive

128MB RAM

keyboard and mouse

15" TFT screen

CPU: PowerPC 750

CPU speed: 350Mhz & 450MHz

(More specs can be found on the site)

 

Not to bad imo, maybe I could update the ram once I have enough money, but its it should do for now.

One last Question: When I have enough money I want to buy OS X Tiger, will it be compatible? Cheers.

yeah, with more RAM it'll just about run tiger.

 

Have you looked at mini mac prices? Are they out of your price range?

 

He'll have to buy a monitor/keyboard/mouse then. Which does bump up the price £100 or so, or more if it's a TFT monitor. Would you have to buy Tiger for the G3?
