1 GHz eMac, the best G4 mac for Leopard.

Pros Large Screen, Firewire 400, Airport Extreme compatible, runs Leopard perfectly.
Cons Bad screen angle for tall desks.
Recommended it? Yes
This was a Mac that I salvaged from the eWaste pile, and it isn't the only eMac I own.

I took this because I needed a mac that can natively run Leopard for Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Mac because it runs terribly on an iMac G3\400 running OS 10.2.8. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the preformance of this.

I installed Leopard the night I got it. It has a 45 second boot time and that is from when I press the power button to when I see the desktop. It seems about as fast running Photoshop Elements 3 as a 17" Core 2 Duo iMac running Leopard also.

Another advantage is the screen. 17" is more than enough for the adverage home user and once you put it into full resolution you can fit a lot of Photoshop on one screen.

The only disadvantage is the screen angle. It is angled backwards which is quite irritating if you have a tall desk like me. I stuck a book under it to angle the screen forwards a little but it would've been nice if the people at Apple though about this.
