Picked up one of these on eBay, 2.4 GHz with the infamous 8600GT. It was minutes way from ending and on the last couple seconds I countered the winning bid of $153. In all I spent about $200 (less the shipping) on a new battery and genuine charger. I figured, what the heck! Looked pretty good, specs still decent and definitely an upgrade from my POS overheating core i3 HP laptop. My current (and last Apple computer I purchased) is an iBook from 2005. Paid $150 for that back in 2012. Before that I had an eMac. Since, I've still been using OS X just on a couple of regular PC's (built a C2Q circa 2008 and a Haswell i5 in 2013). Biggest sell on this machine was that its still able to run the Latest OS X. I primarily just use my computer for the web, music (not even, got a phone for that haha) and videos/hulu.
