So after doing the target drive thing and re-installing OS X 10.4.11 it is running well and now I want to play more, dvd burner (any suggestions?) bigger HD dont know if it is worth getting a airport card!

Bit cramped at 1024x768 but I have a really nice compact computer with Firewire (it'll talk to my 1st gen iPod!) and a big hard drive for £60 plus about £5 for the Torx screwdrivers. Now I need to find a home for the old <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gilesbooth/314359120/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">CRT Apple Studio Display that's hooked up to the G4 Tower</a> - it's too heavy to lift up to the loft!

What a good save you've made there Giles. My nephew has one of these (with a considerably snaller hard drive) and I think it’s a lovely computer. What a good save you’ve made there Giles.
