FS: Dual 2GHz G5/1.5GB/280GB HD/9800 Pro Retail/BT/APX MINT

Well, I sold my TiBook for a PMG4, which I sold for this G5, and now I'm finding I want a powerbook again.

This computer was purchased on Dec 4, and is in mint condition.

It would ship with the following:

Dual 2GHz PowerMac G5
Superdrive
Bluetooth Module
Airport Extreme
56k modem
1.5GB RAM ($265 http://store.macsolutions.com/pgi-Pr...?DDR32001GBKIT)
Radeon 9800 Pro Retail ($360 http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=260126)
160GB HD (SATA)
120GB HD (SATA) ($120 http://www.transintl.com/store/categ...?Category=2441)
Logitech Cordless MX Duo (MX700 Mouse + MX Keyboard) ($70 http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/9673000403.html)
Mac OSX 10.3
MacAlly iShock 2 game controller ($25)
Saitek USB Joystick ($30)
All Docs/Software/Etc in the original box, in Like-New condition

Here's a pic:



Both monitors are also for sale.

Anyway, I'll entertain all reasonable offers. I'm selling because I used to do a ton of video editing and dvd remastering, but that has since changed, and the dual 2 gigger is proving to be too much power for me


I priced out the following setup from the apple store:

Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5
1GB DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200) - 2x512
250GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
AirPort Extreme Card
Bluetooth Module
56k V.92 internal modem
SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
Apple Keyboard & Apple Mouse - U.S. English
Mac OS X - U.S. English

for $3700.

First $3000 + S&H takes it. Will also consider trade of PBG4 + Cash.

Cheers,

Kris

Too much power, I didn't think that was possible? so are you saying its too fast, do you just want a laptop again.

I know it sounds stupid doesn't it?


I have an iBook 800, so it's not that I just want a laptop again, but that for the amount of money that I invested in this system, vs the amount I use on a day-to-day basis with this comp, sinc eI'm not doing video work anymore, it's just not worth it.

Side note: I have YET to give this system so much to do that it bogs it down and becomes unuseable.
