well if you buy a mac from ebay ,,check the pixels are ok no broken one if you have have some it cost you a lot of cash so better get a new one you can get a nice one safe on apple homepage i think its sell out every wensday from 9.00 to 15.00 get your credit card ready
the stuff going fast also you get 1 year warranty from apple store on second hand mac
i did get my G5 from apple 1.9ghz with in the frame isight for 430 pound less then 6 month old and i am very happy with my mac dont never crach no virus and i surfing a lot

list of things to do

1. make sure the mac comes with mac os x tiger because in spring you need os x tiger to upgrade to leopard

2. make sure you do not get a power pc g3 processor yes all though cheaper not recommended

3. make sure it comes with all restore disks

4. do not purchase from china or the u.k or france or africa do to ebay scams you will never see the computer and your money will be gone

once you received your laptop or desktop

1. format or just purchase a new hard drive and restart from scratch good reason because a lot of macs on ebay come with stolen software from limewire and bittorrent and frostwire and if you get caught with it your arressted not the person who sold you the system also viruses could be hidden on the system


2. upgrade the memory if you have the money

powerpc g4 g5 1 gig max

intel based -2 gig max

3.re install os x

4.update os x

5.then find some good free office apps there are a lot of them availible for mac

6.have fun and enjoy
