I agree that because Apple kind of restricts prices a bit, you won't find too much difference between major reputable retailers. However, getting a used machine can be fine. I've had good luck in the past, and recently sold a G4 450 with dual video cards 1.5 gig of ram for $800. The other key is wait for Apple to announce the "latest whiz bang" models and then snap up a discontinued, but totally usable new Mac. This is what I did. Saved $500 because I didn't get the latest greatest. Here's my other feeling: Get a dual processor if you can. Man, what a difference it makes. The flow that having a dual 1 gighz processor gives you is more than worth the extra money IMO. So smooth. Also, RAM is cheap, so load it up. You can't have too much.
