This beauty is now for sale. I love it a lot, but really don't need it as we own two mac laptops already, I need the money for a remodel, and I just need to make some room. I've done some deals on here and you can check my ebay feedback under "Super20." I'm thinking of somewhere in the $200 range OR make an offer...cash or trade for something. I have an Xbox 360 so maybe some games or marketplace points or the HD DVD drive or something? Or I really just love gadgets. Offer away.

Powermac G4 (AGP Graphics edition)
Dual 450mhz PowerPC processors
896mb memory
100mhz bus speed
2 hard drives - 27 gig (quantum fireball) and 40 gig (western digital)
Zip drive - 100mb
Dual Layer DVD burner (lite-on) (16x for dvd write, 48x for cdr write, 4x for dl)
Original keyboard
black Apple Pro Mouse
2 onboard firewire and usb ports
Motorola wpci810g Wireless card - pci - (accepts g and b and operates at 2.4ghz)
Original graphics card (ATI 16mb)

I just want to guage some interest in this computer. I love it a lot, but really don't need it as we own two mac laptops already. This would free up a corner.

Let me know what you think I might get for this. I'm not interested in parting out. I may keep the bigger hard drive for use externally (for photos).

around here, w/only the small HD, approx $100-185 shipped IF you include an OS+install disks, IMHO.

May be a bit more on ebay.....

Talk about lowballing.This should easily get you 200 plus shipping.Even if you go eBay(nothing wrong with it) you'll still get a lot more for it than 180.

well, thats why I said "around here" as in on the forums. Most folks here are a bit more realistic when it comes to actual values of older machines, and are simply not willing to pay out the whazoo for them.

And BTW, a friend of mine recently sold his similarly-equipped sawtooth for $235 shipped, but his had 2gb of ram & a 120GB HD.......

prices on those machines have fallen ALOT lately, even though they still run quite well for everyday tasks :p

What speed is the DVD burner?

Which protocols are supported by the wireless card?

Could you post pictures?

Also...I thought these things had two firewire ports, not just one.

The fact that your friend seriously undersold his computer does not mean that that's the going price.I also recently bought a Dual 800 with 896 RAM,Superdrive without hard drive in perfect condition AND a 17" ACD for 125 dollars.I know I got a hell of a bargain since that's still a $500 setup...

Make offers folks. Don't know if I'm even in the right ballpark. I just want someone to love my baby and take care of it.
