Is this a good deal?

Depends on what's wrong with it. If it's just a HD then it's a good price. If he would ship outside the USA, I would probably buy it myself :)
 
The worst that could be wrong is the hard drive, then it wouldn't be such a good deal.

I think the reason its slow is because he partitioned the hard drive three or four times.

I think he's quad booting it with windows and linux with third party software

no. not windows. remember, this is pre-intel meaning that it won't boot windows. he just has it connected to multiple HDs via Firewire and that's the bootup screen to select which drive to boot from.
 
hmmmm... 12" powerbooks usually go for $300-400 on ebay. this one is $200. He also says no OS included, so what? About $100 for tiger/leopard? Also says it needs a new HD, another $100? And thats if you can even get it working again. It's a risky deal, but $200 isnt too much, and it could work out for you. The case looked to be in good condition, thats a big plus.
 
Whaaaa!!!!!

It was a good deal! Someone bought it :(

Like I said, my total cost would have been $250
 
I like tinkering. Could have been fun to mess around with.

If you don't have another computer, your probably better off saving another $400 and buying one that works.

Cheers.

I could Completely take a computer apart and put it back together.

The only thing that was holding me back is I wanted a 15" not a 12"
