Mac Forum / General / Hardware / February 2006Mini + CRT, or eMac?
I have decided to buy one last PowerPC Mac before the Intel chips take over. I prefer cathode ray tube to LCD displays; I do a lot of image editing. I would like to hear some opinions about whether an eMac or a Mini plus a new CRT monitor would be the best way to go. > I have decided to buy one last PowerPC Mac before the Intel chips take > over.

I don't remember what the clock rate of an emac can be. The mini can go up to 1.42 GHz, if I remember right. The emac may be faster. If you don't like the monitor of the emac, you're stuck. I have a 21" Sony CRT I could sell you. It came with a Sun workstation a few years ago. Email me if you're interested. It does 1280x1024 resolution and lower.

A) eMac's are ugly -- they look like an giant molar exhibit from the Dental Museum. B) When the monitor on the eMac goes wonky; throw the eMac away. When the monitor on your Mini fails, get another one for $100 and keep going. I have found that video failures (inc. degradation, wiggling, etc...) are the #1 reason I've had to scrap iMac's of all ages. I know no reason to think eMac's will differ...
