Well, let's correct something first. The "DV" model iMacs came with firewire. These started with 400mhz and up. The 350 is not a DV, but it is in the revision of the family. Ram and Hard Drives are very easy to upgrade (even an additional 256MB and a 40GB, 7200rpm drive). Are there no wireless networks in the area? What's the proximity of neighbors? Any chance of piggy-backing with the use of a USB wireless device, while splitting the cost?
