Hey boys and girls from GMC,

It's been a while since I last posted. I haven't really touched the guitar for a while or thought about music. However, I do want to get back into it.

My plan is the following: building an Apple Home Studio, taking piano lessons and singing lessons. To cope with my arm injury I will leave my guitar on the bench for a little while. Anyway, my budget is between 1200 - 1500 euros. Not sure if that is sufficient, otherwise I can always throw a little extra money on, but preferably not!

So far I have some cheap second-handed G5 Power Macs that I'm interested in (around 500 euros), an Axiom Pro 61 (really, really cool midikeyboard for about 400 euros) and Logic Pro Studio (which I've found new for 351 euros).

About these last two I'm pretty sure I will get them, but it's the Power Mac I am worried about. I don't want to waste my money on a computer which has a short (economical) lifespan, if you know what I mean. If I buy one now, I want to be able to use it for the next 4-5 years.

The Mac I'm looking at right now has the following specs:

Apple Powerpc G5
1,8GHZ
4 GB
75 GB HDD
700 GB extra HDD
Leopard OSX
some preinstalled programs such as Adobe CS4

Should I go for it?
