Has a 27GB HD, OS X and 256MB RAM, and pro keyboard/mouse (KB is black, mouse is white). Has a Combo drive and Zip drive, and I believe a DVI output as well. Listed for sale locally and may be sold earlier.
Make an offer + shipping from 90038.

If this has the original stock graphics card, I just want to warn you that it's not worth very much. I'd be surprised if you got $100 for it.

Good luck selling that machine for the price you want. I sold the same model in October with 500 Ghz HD (2x250), 2 Gb RAM, upgraded graphics card & 4 USB 2.0 ports (added via PCI port) for far less than I wanted. I'll withhold the amount here so that it doesn't drive your bids down.

Well, FWIW, IMHO:
Pluses of this machine:
A) 500mhz, 1 of the rarer macs of which only a few were ever actually released to the public.
B) Can easily accept a Dual 450/500mhz cards from the Gigabit machines for a cheap but very effective speeeeddd boost (been there, done that, luvd it)
C) Lots of 3rd party cpu upgrades well into the 1-2GHZ range (if upgrading/spending money is your thing)
Minuses:
A) 27GB HDD.......old as the hills & will probably fail soon :eek:
B) Minimal ram, it can take 2GB.....but those chips are becoming hard to find/expensive nowadays
C) Antique video card, if it's the stock one.....just barely enough to get early versions of OS X running at minimal levels......
And of course we'd need to see good closeup pix of the case to judge the physical condition also, which will have some effect on the selling price :)
