You don't need a dual processor G4 for Bryce, in fact it's not optimized for them. You're better off getting a single processor 867Mhz G4. Right now they are $2494 with 640MB RAM, 60Gig HD, DVD-R/CD-RW drive and a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX video card from Mac Mall. The 733Mhz model is $1694 and the 17" flat screen is $994. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. Anything you "throw together yourself" is not going to come with tech support or a warranty (except for the individual parts). Apple has great financing options like Apple Loan and Apple Lease, which is great for small businesses. G4's are absolute top of the line as far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't use anything else.
