1st gen macmini

[uaecasher]

hello,

I'm thinking of buying 1st gen macmini how much does it worth ?

thanks

By 1st Gen, do you mean PPC or Intel?

I wouldn't pay over $300. If you gave some actual specs that amount may change.

PPC it's like the 1st rev released, he's checking the specs

depends on the specs, obviously. but still, i wouldn't pay over $250. even for that price, it would need to be high-spec.

But I mean, another $250 would get you a low-end current gen which would be more worth doing than wasting money on a PPC. Unless you absolutely need it or on a tight budget.

 

[bozz2006]

agreed.

I'm not on tight budget i got unibody macbook pro, it's just i like to collect macs and my friend is traveling soon so i guessed i would be it from him, I was thinking of 100$ or less ?

they have been going for about 250.00 on ebay for the most part.

100$ is OK. As Krafty said, if you add little more, you can get current gen

Most people are advised not to bother with the Core Solo Mini, let alone a PPC version.

Save your $100 toward your next machine.

if u want to collect a mac, get a g4 cube. they are a lot more rare and stand out more than a mini. everybody knows about the mini but not a lot know about the cube.

In that case a G4 cube or iMac G4 is the best Macs to own as a collection. IMO

no i don't. i have a macintosh se/30 though. its sitting in the garage of my grandpas house as wee speak

ok look at this ebay auction. you get a g4 cube and a 15in monitor. they look like they are in great condition.
