We've found some great eMac deals - as low as $269 for a 700 MHz eMac with CD and $325 for 1.25 GHz with SuperDrive. At prices like this, there's almost no reason to look at G3 iMacs!
If you need a desktop Mac and don't need G5 or Intel power, expansion slots, or a resolution higher than 1280 x 960, the eMac could be just right for you. Our opinion of the eMac (somewhat dated) is summarized in The 2005 eMac and iMac Value Equation.
Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" is supported on all 867 MHz and faster G4 Macs with at least 512 MB of RAM and the ability to run the DVD-based installer. Leopard can be installed on 700 MHz and 800 MHz eMacs using various workarounds. See our article on Unsupported Leopard Installation for details; there are several ways to install it.
All eMacs listed are used. 2004 eMacs, the
best used values right now, have Radeon 9200 graphics with 32 MB of
video memory, 80 and 160 GB hard drives, and a dual-layer 8x SuperDrive
on the top-end model.
Regardless of which eMac you choose, we recommend at least 512 MB of memory to unleash the power of OS X - more if you have multiple users, run a lot of programs at once, or depend on Classic mode.
Adding 512 MB to the base RAM makes for a very perky system. Going to a gig is better yet, some eMacs support up to 2 GB, and installing memory is trivial.
Used Macs usually include a 90 day warranty. Prices may be limited to quantity on hand. Not responsible for typos. Please email any corrections or additional sources with competitive prices to. Dan Knight
