Its a great machine but i dont use it. Asking $1800 + 1/2 Shipping. (1/2 shipping is about $25 in the US) To get the same machine today would cost you $2,274.00 from apple or with the educational discount it is $2,046.00, and that is without the 8 ram slots and the PCI-X slots.

email me at bryoung at mac dot com if there are any questions.

Off topic, how well does that superdrive work? Have you tried any Dual Layer media? Just curious as I want to put one in my Dual 2.5. Thanks.
It's just an ordinary day and it's all your
state of mind, at the end of the day, you
just gotta say it's alright!

The drive works good. I used patchburn 3 and all the i apps work fine. Haven't tried DL media because it costs to much right now. If you want to read up on it go over to xlr8yourmac.com and they have a bunch of reviews on it in the drive database.

Its a great drive. You pop the front of the drive off and swap it with the drive in you Powermac cause you don't need the eject button or the light. Then you have a 8x drive you can put in a case. Thats what I did.

Good luck,
Brian.

BTW I got it at newegg.com
