I had previously talked about the problems that my daughters could have when I get them new iPods as one has an eMac and the other has a G4 iBook so neither have USB2. It came to me and it seemed like a good idea that if they had room I could get an old B&W G3 tower, stick a USB2 card in and they could have machines dedicated purely for their music. I started doing a little research to see how much the setups might cost me and found that here in the UK a suitable B&W G3 would be £20-£30. I have at least one spare USB2 card and our local FreeCycle is constantly showing free old monitors. I have to say though that I wouldn't have minded catching this one, I like the 'fault' on his monitor.
