I had one, nice machine. Heavy as all get out though. The power lead going to the drives stopped working, which basically made it useless unless I used another power supply. Gave it away to scrap, after stripping out all the juicy parts, like the power splice cable, and the zip drive with floppy power connector.
I wouldn't mind owning one either if they weren't so mindblowingly large.
They are very interesting machine. I don't think I have ever seen one in da flesh.
Take some pictures of you G4 AIO.
Mike Richardson sells a Desktop G3 with a G4, and just the G4 makes it worth it to buy that computer, It would make a nice server.

How do I attach pictures?
I really didn't think the G4 was going to make a big difference but it does.
I mean you cannot play any OSX games but I do have OS 9.2.2 for my old games.
The internet runs smooth...
I have run some dreamweaver how-to movies on it and it is acceptable frame rate.
And now with the inclusion of the DVD-RW that I bought on ebay I can share or install programs on DVD and burn
DVD's.
It is a very capable machine.
I bought it for 20.00 + with the additions I spent 80.00 on upgrades...
the video memory is upped to 6meg. so that helps...
and I am still waiting for my pci wireless card for it.
actually this machine is a bit heavier than a emac.
so the upgrades so far:
512mg memory,
120GB hdd
G4 cpu upgrade
Video memory 4 mb upgrade
DVD-rw drive
usb 2.0 card (it runs usb 1.1 under os 9.2.2 and 2.0 under osX)
and soon to have PCI wireless card
it runs itunes great, I have my whole 50 gig library on it.

Recieved the Airport compatible PCI card and it works great!!!
it's nice to have the wireless now...
So my upgrading is done on this... it as far as it will go... but it's a very useable Powermac G4 AIO....
