The eMac (UK link) is

The eMac (UK link) is the sort of thing we expected a couple of years ago for the mass market, but would have been a hard sell because of the price of larger, flatter CRT* screens. It's now quite attractively priced, even in the UK: £729 (plus VAT) gets you a 700MHz PowerPC G4 with 128 megabytes of memory, while for £879 (plus VAT), Apple upgrades the CD-ROM to a CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive and throws in a 56k modem. * In repsonse to comments, I've amended my poor phrasing here: as the link makes clear, this is a tube-based eMac not an LCD model.
