Need Opinion Between 3 Systems Options

[Killall]

Sorry, title said 3, but is actually 4 systems.

Hey everyone, I have the availability between the following four systems to start creating my home studio with and I wanted to see what you guys thought.

System 1 - iMac G4 1.25Ghz 256MB 80GB, 20 inch screen, Superdrive
System 2 - iMac G4 1.25Ghz 256MB 80GB, 17inch, Superdrive (Lamp)
System 3 - PowerMac G4 1.25Ghz 256MB 80GB, Combodrive, 17inch display
System 4 - iBook 1Ghz 256MB, 60GB HD, Combo, 14inch display

I realize that any of these I'll have to throw more RAM into. I'm leaning towards the iBook so that I can record live and have the portability, especially since my band is in a practice studio away from housing. However I know it only has 1 memory bank so the most it could have is 640mb of RAM.

I'm completely new to Mac and this will be a big learning experience for me.

Any suggestions?

P.S. It's these 4 systems or nothing because of a program I have where I am employed.

i would not compare the power of an ibook, to the power of the new powerbooks. if u want to be portable, get a powerbook. they are much faster for audio. the ibook might be sluggish for multiple live recordings.
your best bet is that G4 tower, for a solid home studio.
other items on your list really depend on your recordings technics and the quality you want to achive. money should help, too.
