Well not wishing to throw water on your parade but the G4 iBook would not be on my list. I have had two, the motherboards crack by the graphics chip.

Don't pick it up by the front left corner alone, that was what I did and it cracked the motherboard. I tried three other (used) motherboards and they were all the same. Be sure to lift it at both sides with two hands.

The best of that bunch was the G4 Aluminium model, the Titanium ones hinges were troublesome. I still have a G4 Al and it still works well despite having been dropped (by the previous owner).
