My Mac 6116CD here is showing signs that all is not well, and I would like
to replace it. Preferably with something faster. And cheap. This machine
cost me $500US, about the going rate in New Zealand; I'm aware that this
model goes retail in the US for $90-180! To me that's cheap. Here you could
pay that much for an old Classic or LC!

Mine has a 60mHz PowerPC 601 processor and 24mb RAM expandable to 72mb.

Does anyone know of any Macs faster than mine that might be available? I
guess I'm looking for an 8000-series or later. I don't want to buy another
monitor overseas unless it's 19" or larger. ?

8600s and 9600s go retail for $800-1000in USA, hopefully private sellers or
university departments wanting to get rid of surplus "old" Macs to make
room for G4s will sell for a lot less. I may be pushing the proverbial here
but if you don't try you'll never find out.
