I was shopping around on craigslist for a new Mac, and I came across this:

Apple Power PC G5 Dual 2.0 GhZ CPU// 4.5 GB of RAM // 150 GB HDD // WiFi , Bluetooth , FireWire 400 & 800 ports //
GeForce 6600 , 256 GB of VRAM (Dual Monitor Outputs, can run two HD displays) // Superdrive DVD // 4 USB inputs // Optical Audio in/out

I've had this computer since it was brand-new. Very well taken care of, upgraded RAM, very fast. Would be great for a Studio computer for either audio or video production.
Will be sure to reset it to factory settings.

$275 or best offer. Cash only. Email for quickest response. Thanks!

Is this as good a deal as it seems? The graphics card seems a bit old, if necessary, can I upgrade it? Thanks for any help!
 
$275 sounds about right for a 7+ year old computer that can't run modern operating systems due to it's chip architecture. It all depends on what you need a computer for to determine if it's a good deal or not.

Woah, are you saying I can't update to Lion? Because that was my original plan.
