    I've currently got a few feelers out on Craigslist for a used PowerMac G4. I'm not an expert in Mac hardware, so can someone tell me if any aluminum G4 will do? Certain bus speeds, graphics cards?

    One seller has sent a .jpg of his "display" hardware. Here's a link to the photo.

    Is this going to work?

    "Only the last two revisions of PowerBooks [...] have usb keyboard/touchpad."

    That would be the two rightmost columns of the following table:

    RV360 means Radeon 9600 (XT), which would be "Rev B" in the table linked above.

    Guys, seriously: do NOT buy PowerBooks. Especially this model is unlikely to ever be supported.
