Any interested in this? I overclocked mine to 1.33 which wasn't stable, backed it down to 1.2. Now I want a G5 and want to sell the eMac, I just don't know if anyone has any interest in an eMac OC'ed.

It's an eMac 800 running at 1.2ghz now (and very stable at that speed)
1GB SDRAM (Original 128MB DIMM Can be included)
120GB HD
Airport Extreme card installed
Sony DVD Burner (+- 4X I believe, I think its the DRU-500a, I'd have to check again) (Original CD-ROM drive can be included)
No manuals
Restore CD's, including 10.3.2.
Keyboard and Mouse

No original box or manuals though, that's why I would want to sell it locally.

I was thinking about $800 for it all, but am starting to think that may be a bit steep based on what you can buy new. However, a similarly priced new eMac 1.25ghz is over $1300 at the apple store, but that also includes a warranty, this one doesn't. Any ideas?
If any chicago buyers would be interested, drop me an email I'm open to offers.

I think $800 might be asking more than people will offer around here. While the OC is stable it is a hack so saying it is the same as a 1.25 from Apple is not really accurate. It is still an 800Mhz G4.
And real 1.25 eMacs are going for $850 refurbished from Apple with a Superdrive. The RAM is a good deal but don't compare it to Apple's prices for the same amount as that is heavily marked up compared to even the most reliable resellers like Crucial.
