Re: Your Mac Dilemma
For the money you'd spend on software and peripherals you'd do better to buy a new machine, IMHO.
Besides which, an external DVD writer is pointless if you are planning to use iDVD because that only works with internal Apple superdrives. And GarageBand won't run on anything less than a 600MHz G3 (and then only just!).
The new eMacs start at £549 inc. VAT and have everything you need, bar the DVD writer. The model with the Superdrive has an 80 gig HD (double the base model's capacity) and costs £699.
If you are thinking about doing this you might want to look at the back cover of the July issue of Macworld magazine. PC World are offering a free HP all-in-one printer/scanner/copier jobbie with the new eMac (though I think only on the base model) if you pitch up at the store with a copy of the ad in your hands. Worth taking a look.
