I successfully switched my parents last year and now I'm selling off the family's collection of Apple computers. We're all making the move to Intel together, and at least two of us are drooling over the new MacBook.

My father's used this machine as his office machine for the past year. He typically uses it for Word, browsing the web, iPhoto, and email. Nothing strenuous.

Machine Name: iMac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac8,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1.5GB
Bus Speed: 600 MHz

The memory was bought from Other World Computing. It has a lifetime warranty. The configuration is one 1GB stick and one 512MB stick.

Macintosh HD:
Capacity: 148.92 GB

ATI Radeon 9600:
VRAM (Total): 128 MB

iMac:
Display Type: LCD
Resolution: 1440 x 900

Combo drive.

It has both Bluetooth and an Airport card. The computer is still eligible for warranty. I believe it has 1-2 months left on it. This computer is less than a year old!

I would prefer to sell this computer locally. I am located in the north Chicago area. I will also ship to the continental US.

$900 shipped.

Just to answer a few questions: the price is negotiable. I may consider a trade for a MacBook if it is in perfect condition. The memory was bought from Other World Computing and is intended for the iMac. Shipping is not included in the price, but can be negotiated. This is the model before the iSight was included.

Lowered the price to $1000 + shipping. The machine is in great condition.

The LCD does not have any dead pixels as far as I can tell.

I have added pictures and put the iMac on eBay. I will sell it outright for $1000 to a MacRumors member.

Yeah, the reason it's not selling is probably the price. Sent a PM.
