I am going to be moving soon and will possibly be turning over my G5 as its just too much for me lately.

Its a beast in terms of what it can do, the dual hdds and 2.5GB make it ideal for video/dvd and all that stuff.


Basic Specs:

Dual 1.8Ghz G5
2.5GB RAM (this is the 8 slot NOT the crippled 4 slot)
Radeon 9800SE (with upgraded fan)
two 160GB SATA drives
superdrive
M-Audio Revolution 7.1 PCI card
OSX 10.4

would come in the ORIGINAL box (the old sideways packing vs the newer vertical) with keyboard, mouse, papers, original OSX install discs)

any help in pricing this bad boy would be appreciated.

Really? Thats hopeful!

Id probably be looking for a 20inch iMac, only specs needed are the 256MB graphix card.

The 24inch has a nicer graphix card, but 24inches might be a little too big and pricey for me.

Also, there's someone over on MacNN who's looking for a 1.8 G5 (http://forums.macnn.com/59/marketplace/321836/wtb-low-end-powermac-g5-1-a/) - another option. He has good feedback over on Ars, too, so definitely trustworthy.

Im in Floreeda.

Since I have the original box, i can ship anywhere really.

Though, the box has been shipped a few times, only the box NOT the computer, it always traveled by car :P, so the box has some "use" to it and a few shipping label remnants, but its the snug and complete fit that matters!
