WTB: Quicksilver G4, possibly Cinema display

[diavolo]

I am interested in getting a Quicksilver G4 with specs as follows...

733mhz - Dual 1ghz
512MB - 1.5GB RAM
80GB HDD or better
CD-RW or Superdrive
32MB Video card

Naturally, I realize the orice difference in the range of specifications that I am interested in. The features that are most important features to me are the RAM and the optical drive. The video card isn't of great importance. Basically, I want to use this machine for Photoshopping and as a central storage for my media collection.

I have a pretty liberal budget, so I thought it best to post what I want instead of what I want to spend. I am also interested in a 17" Cinema display or a 20" if the price is right.

This is a serious request! I have cash and am willing to spend it for more Mactacular stuff to supplement my recent switch to Apple.

well i have a powermac g4 qsilver, 733, 1 gig ram, cd rw, 40 gig hd, 120 gig hd, pro keyboard, pro mouse, pro speakers,ati radeon 7500, with 32 meg.. how much can you offer me?

I am still fairly new to Apple products and their residual value, so if it is OK with you, I would like to get a few third-party opinions. Do you have pics?

heres a link to a pic of my set up http://www.spymac.com/gallery/show_photo.php?picid=86096&size=big

ive seen just the tower w/o the lcd go for 1000 on ebay, but the average price for just the mache is about 800's or so plus shipping and those were all alot lower specs such as 128 ram and so on.

[diavolo]

Are you looking to sell with or without the display? I will do further research just for my own personal gratification, from what I do know, though, 800 would be about right without the extra stuff like the additional HDD and extra RAM.

BTW, that is a good looking set-up and I think it would look pretty good on MY desk :-)

thanks. i would like to sell it with it, but i could sell it without if the price on the mchine is good. make me a reasonable offer and maby we can work something out. i have a few software programs like appleworks 6, os x jag, os x panther that i could include if the price on the system is good
.

[diavolo]

K, I've got some prices in mind. If you could, so I can provide a more exact offer, what do you want to include in the sale? One last question, is the display 17"?

[diavolo]

Hmm.... I wouldn't be interested in the Micrososft keyboard and mouse, the Apple ones are preferable. Let's kick off negotiations at 1300. :D
