6 channel surround sound, spdf out
supports up to 3GB dual channel DDR 400 RAM
Running WinXP Pro w/service pack1
Coolermaster Wavemaster black all aluminum case

200 GB 7200 RPM Western digital HD

I believe that you'd have better luck selling the machine straight up. For sure, it doesn't merit a 1ghz PB like mine, but an iBook G4 wouldn't be out of the question. For a tip, try selling it at anandtech.com forums to speed up the process. Right now, with the new iBooks and PBs being released, everyone is wanting to upgrade to higher Macs. Regardless, just constructive criticism, I do wish you luck, but look into selling it aswell. Very nice machine. Just unfortunate that PC's done have any resale value

I'm just leaving feedback from an excellent transaction that I just completed with heresiarh, he traded his 800Mhz iBook G4 to me for the pc listed in the first post. I can say that the transaction was very smooth, good communication, and the iBook is pristine, just as he said it would be. I would reccommend him as a buyer or seller. Would do business with him again.
