I have an Apple G3/266 (Beige tower), currently running Yellowdog Linux, 190 MB memory, usual spec, keyboard, mouse, no monitor.
on loot they're about £250

would like....

PC with Athlon/P4 1.5GHz+, 40/80GB HD, 256 RAM, AGP and a few PCI slots. Preferably an unbranded component built system, OS unimportant (it's for Linux)

I also have some other macs (workgroup server, 7200 etc... nothing new) that I could even it up with if the PC is better specced or you think the deal is unfair.

In the Manchester area preferably to save on postage, or i can travel.

here you go http://lowendmac.com/ppc/g3.shtml (I can't believe it cost $3000 in 1997 )

If the specs were similar to the PC equivelent i probably swapped but its not up to the Design work i need to get done.
