WTB: G5 or Intel machine

Have about $400 to blow, maybe a little more if I can find a really good deal. Just need a desktop for the office. A early PowerMac G5 would be perfect, I know some 1.6 machines go for $500 on eBay, so maybe a little less here.

An Intel Mini would also be ideal, I'd also consider iMac G5's.

Thanks very much.

a 1.66 ghz core duo mini is $429 on the Apple refurbs page, check early morning to catch one in stock.

i wouldn't waste money on a single 1.6 GHz G5 tower, honestly... but that's me.

That's with the combo....they bumped the price of the superdrive version to 649 cuz the original was 799... i think...well..last time i saw...

OP, watch out for those 1.8 G5 iMacs....they had lots Mobo problems...it might end up being a bigger headache for you.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely keep checking. In the mean time, if a forum member could beat that by a little bit, even better!

You might want to check out MacMall for some closeouts on the Mini. They had a new last revision 1.83 superdrive mini for $549 the other day. No tax and you might be able to talk them down to free shipping instead of getting the rebate, its a good deal.

Thanks very much. I haven't see this up lately, but I'll keep checking.
