Good points Eric, I’d just like to add that I recently bought a couple of old G4’s off of eBay (1 for $52 & another for $91), with Mac OS-X & OS 9.2 installed along with a ton of graphic design software already installed.

Just like the old argument of Mac vs PC, I say to let the software determine the machine. Try ebay or sites that have older software first. Get the specs of every piece of software you want, then start finding the Mac that’s right for your budget. Apple’s website doesn’t have too many specs of some of the slightly older computers, but one good, reliable site I prefer to look at is lowendmac.com. There’s a separate link for specs that should help you out.
Don’t forget to get another video card and a monitor. Although not essential, it makes a lot of multimedia work easier when you have two or more screens.
