Want to try a Mac

[ajf]

Thinking of getting a Mac of some kind to play around with as never used one before.

Quick search on eBay found the following:

Powermac G3 300Mhz
256Mb RAM
6 Gb Disk
CD-ROM
OS X
No mouse or keyboard for £20.

Is it worth the risk at that price? Do I need a specific Mac keyboard and mouse though or would a standard USb/PS-2 one suffice?
Is the OS recent enough to be representative of current Macs?

Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for the feedback. Might wait and see what else comes up then. I don't want to spend a great deal as I am pretty tied into PCs with my software etc but would like to get some basic experience of one.
Can only go by the ad I saw which stated it had OS X installed - the seller has a number of similar machines for sale plus some G4s - would that be a better bet maybe?
