The model of Mac that you have is more or less irrelevant. You can use a 
VGA monitor with your G4, it is an industry standard and your Quicksilver 
has a VGA connector.

Insignia make some fine monitors, they have been highly rated in PC 
World's ratings of monitors.  

The gotcha is in the shipping.  CRT monitors are heavy,  If Overstock 
wants to charge you normal UPS rates to ship you the monitor, this deal 
can quickly become a bad deal.

Here is a monitor offer that might be about the same price, but the 
monitor is bigger, and better, though in this case it is refurbished:

I purchased my wife one of these for work, and it is so nice that all of 
her co-workers are jealous!
