Is this a good Imac G5 Deal ?

[Ahmed]

well am switching to mac soon (1-2 weeks max) i will need it for basic internet tasks(hotmail,messenger,downloading..etc) , music , watching Dvds and burning some , transfering files from and to my digital cam and MP3 player , maybe some light video editing or graphics , a game or two(i will still keep my P4 for this) , office 2004 ..thats about it !

iMac G5 1.8GHz/ 256MB/ 80GB/ SuperDrive/ 56K/ 17-inch - Apple Certified Refurbished $999.00

from apple.com


is this a good deal? i know the ram is low am going to add 512mb when i get it and if i couldnt i ll be able to do that in a month or two.

i realy cant go over 1050-1100$ and i dont need a laptop..

yeah one more thing , am getting it from the apple store (florida) will they be able to connect the Imac after i pay for it , so i can see if it has more than 4 dead pixles to get it fixed , instead of taking it with me then returning to them?

any extra info or help would be great

thanks !!

With extra ram, this is an overkill for your needs. Extra ram is a necessity for all macs, and it isn´t expensive if you buy from the internet.

I have 2 rev A and I´m very pleased with them.

Good deal, on a very nice system. Buy it, you will fall in love with the iMac G5 and Mac OS X!

I would say get a maxed out emac, but this deal isn't something I'd wanna pass up...Get the Imac g5!

The thought had also crossed my mind as a recommendation for Ahmed. But at that price...iMac G5.

iMac G5!

(not Imac). Sorry... It's just one of those things that gets me.
