Really just a feeler at the moment, looking into what I might be able to get for this- I want that new iMac bad! :)

Mac mini 1.42, 512 ram, 80 gig, Bluetooth

Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo

Viewsonic A90f+ monitor (awesome monitor, great shape!)

I also recently purchased a Westinghouse 17" widescreen LCD (white, matches the mini!) but I don't think I want to get rid of that.


Really just feeling at the moment. Thanks for looking!

Awesome LCD, especially for the price. Granted, it's no Dell 20 incher, but you cannot complain at the price- and it matches the mini. :)

At BestBuy... was $299... just dropped the price to $249 and is usually on sale for a little bit less than that.

WOW, that's a great price for the LCD. They're the ones they usually use on the display Mac Mini (the demo one) at Best Buy! At least at my Best Buy.

Also, iKWICK7 is a great person to do business with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Seeing that I could get a similar machine refurb from Apple for $450, without bluetooth and acc. I would think that would be a fair price for a used one.

I'm not sure if that's an offer or not... ;)

The monitor, I dunno.. CRT's are so pricey to ship.

yea, my advice, keep the monitor and sell the mini. It will cost you way to much to ship, sell it locally and sell the mini online

aawww shucks... you're making me blush. :)

Go Steve.Jobs!!!!

From my experience, Best Buy employees seem to hate Macs. What's funny about Best Buy using the display is that they never use it efficiently- I always see it running at 1024x768 with the refresh turned down.

Yeah, I was figuring somewheres around that.... maybe around $500 if I were to throw the keyboard/mouse combo into the mix.

Shipping the monitor would suck (the Viewsonic)- always hopes of a local trade though. It truely is a great monitor, and since I cannot dual screen on the mini, I have it set up dual screen on my laptop. Good times.
