Get a G5 and dress like that guy from My Chemical Romance, then complain at open-mic night about how much your life sucks and how your computer feels inadequate and it wants to commit suicide.

Suicidal Macintosh. Wow.

If you only have a few hundred dollars, PPC Macs still make great, useful workstations.

However, if you have at least $500 to spend, you should get an Intel Mac instead. Avoid any Mac mini that contains Intel Core Solo - that's the crappy single processor model, it's a waste of money.

check these out , dual 1.8 ghz, and its the tower so its upgradable, i can probly talk him down to 500

dual 2ghz for 500
http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/sys/1275733872.html

or i could settle for something for 100$ like this dual 800mhz g4 tower, its alot cheaper and i think its all i need, im still running 10.3, i need something with 10.4 or newer cause nothing is compatable with 10.3 anymore
