I had a good experience with buying a used eMac on craigslist about 2 years ago.

Paid about $400. It came with one of that product line's faster processors (G4 running at 1 gHz?) and I later maxed out its RAM (1GB).

It runs Apple's latest operating system (OS X) pretty smoothly and has been rock-solid in performance.

My late father’s eMac went into service early 2003 (Feb or March), and the only “repair” it has needed was due to a power failure in the summer of 2007 (flaked the b-tree on the hard drive, restored it and the files using an external drive and software recommended by the local Apple Store genius). Have you had any trouble with the CD/DVD drive? Maybe mine was a media problem, but I had a couple bad burns.
