...with a pricetag under $600 USD.

Finally.  Regardless of what you think about Apple quality, there's little debate that their machines have always been too expensive.  Being able to choose any display you want is a plus, too.  I hate the LCD screens that come with the iMac, and will never own such a display.

Anyone know where I can buy a used, MacOS X capable system for $200 or less?  Specs aren't important as I'd use it strictly for compatibility testing.

Still be cheaper and faster to build a pc besides apples quality control sucks.

I agree, but I recently serviced someone's Dell with a cheezy fold-open case, and I could say the same about almost any pre-built machine.

Wow.  I always thought that machine had been canceled.

Funny how the floppy drive is an option.  Even after the 32x, 4MB expansion and "Bulky Drive" for the N64, and Dreamcast ZIP drive, console developers still haven't learned that add-ons don't sell.  My local store has a single PS2 hard drive in stock and has been collecting dust for months.  I hope people insterested in game development are taking notes.  :-)
