My Mac is outdated, but it works very well as a photo processing and printing computer. It's a dual 1.25 G4. It was the top of the line of that series. I'm sure you can find one for around $500 these days. it came with a relatively small internal hard drive-- 125 gig I believe. I replace that with a 500 gig drive. It has a second hard drive internal mount, so I added a 750 gig. Theoretically, you could have a couple of terabytes in the box. The graphics card is very good and the bus is relatively fast. It will take up to 2 gigs memory, which is quite adequate for PhotoShop. While it's outdated, I don't expect to upgrade any time soon because it works damn well.
