I'm putting my Power Mac G4 on the selling block! This is the perfect opportunity for PC users to pick up an inexpensive Mac to get their feet wet, or for an existing Mac user to upgrade to a more capable Mac. Here is everything that is included with the system:

• PowerPC 7410 @ 533 MHz, 1 MB L3 cache (upgradeable with single or dual processors as fast as 1.5 GHz)
• 896 PC133 SDRAM (1 x 512 MB, 1 x 256 MB, 1 x 128 MB)
• OEM ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64 MB VRAM, ADC and DVI)
• 160 GB storage (2x 60 GB and 40 GB Maxtor HD)
• Apple/Pioneer SuperDrive (2x DVD-R, 8x CD-R)
• AirPort wireless networking card (802.11b)
• Apple Pro speakers
• Apple Pro keyboard and mouse (or Microsoft, if you prefer)
• Mac OS X 10.3.3 (Panther) pre-installed with iLife '04 (iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, GarageBand)

For complete specifications, visit Apple's website (PDF format).

You can check my ebay feedback under the username iamgizzard. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at gizzard at mac dot com.

I would like to get $800 (I'll cover 1/2 of the shipping costs).

Here are some pictures!

I think it is a very reasonable price for a 533/896MB/100GB/SuperDrive/Radeon 9000 Pro/AirPort Card/Pro Speakers...

You may want to consider lower your price to maybe 750 inc. shipping. That is a tad high for that machine these days. Good Luck!

Is this the dual-processor model? Judging by the heatsink it would appear to be, but from your post it sounds like a single.

Looks like a single, I think. I believe the Dual 533s had a 'shroud' over the heatsink.

(EDIT)

Found a picture.
