Make The Move? Options

[the_future]

I am new to the world of Macs and music, and I'm looking for some advice. I currnetly have a decent sized home studio that I have been assembling for the last few years, and I have been using an Atari (yeah... I know) for all my midi sequencing, but I really want to make the move to Mac. I have alot of midi gear, and I need some help finding a decent system for what I will be doing. I have an older performa 6400 running os 9.1 with a Sonnet G3 processor upgrade that I use as my internet connection. I really don't want to put this in my studio, due to ram issues, so I'm looking to maybe buy a beige G3. (I'm a poor musician, so I don't want to spend a whole lot of money to get started) I have a Motu MTPII serial interface, but no software other than ProTools free
;)
do any of you out there have any tips that could help me out?
I would definately appreciate any feedback that wil point me in the right direction.
thanks in advance,

Thanks Edit.... that looks like it might be right down my alley. I will be keeping watch on that one
I was checking out a power pc G3 Tower on ebay... I think I might go that route, unless anyone has any other suggestions. I have a Yamaha MD4 digital multirack that I'm using as a submixer, and I would like to find a Mac with audio i/o so I can tie into my sytem... I think I will probably stick to a machine with os9 since I'm familiar with it now... and I don't realy want to go with a blue and white g3 (since it lacks the serial port needed to run my MTP2) I still have to find a good machine, and download the drivers for the MTP, so I'm sure I will be on here asking more questions...

thanks for the support,
Temple
