I would recommend the last G4 Powerbooks - they have a USB keyboard. The last G4 Power Macs are probably good as well, and can usually be optioned up with RAM. The Apple hardware layout has a 2 GB restriction on mem size (for 32-bit CPUs). later, Peter.

Yep. A firewire/800 external drive would do the trick. For old G4 powermacs, there are a number of accelerator card options.
