Cheapest thing that'll run logic studio 8?
Hi there. Basically I really want logic studio 8, and therfore am forced to buy some sort of mac. However I have come to find macs are a lot more than I expected.
Bearing in mind, this is the only reason I need a mac, can anyone suggest the cheapest possible way I can have a system which will be able to run logic studio 8 to a fairly decent standard. Any help would be much appreciated.

Minimum spec is:
- Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4 processor
- 1GB of RAM
- Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
So if you're willing to go second-hand, look for a PoweMac G4 or a Mac Mini on eBay that matches the above spec.
I'd avoid getting something that barely meets the system requirements though. For example, many of the effects in Soundtrack Pro can be heard in real-time with a sufficiently fast processor. If you don't, It's really annoying to have to apply them each time in order to hear the result. I think any Mac with an Intel processor should do OK.
Thanks for the reply, but they're all pretty much the most expensive macs out aren't they? I was thinking of perhaps an older model, just the cheapest possible thing that'll manage to run the software.
