I put together a PC to play games, but as it turns out I'm not really doing that, so I'd like to trade it for a Mac (my iMac 400mhz is getting a little slow... )

Here are the specs:

Athlon64 3000+ Socket 939 CPU
MSI Socket 939 Motherboard w/ RAID and Surround Sound
1GB Ram (OCZ Low Latency matched w/ heatshield)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 8X AGP
160GB Western Digital Hard Drive
Antec Sonata Case
2 Yate Loon Fans (VERY quiet)
16x CD Burner
48x CDROM
Floppy

There may be more that I'm forgetting... it's a very nice computer. *Very* quiet, and easily overclockable if you want some extra framerates. I purchased the system with that in mind, so everything is matched to get the best overclocking... you can take it up to approx Athlon 4000+ speeds without even using special cooling (the Athlon 3000 socket 939 is one of the best cpus you can get for overclocking). I ended up not keeping it overclocked because I wasn't playing any games.

I'd be willing to trade it for a Mac Mini, powerbook/ibook 1ghz or above, or any reasonable desktop offer.

Let's see... I added up today's prices on newegg and got $794. If I sell it for 60% of that, it'd be about $476, almost the cost of a mini. Perfect

BTW... I would be willing to sell/trade the computer in a different (lesser) configuration. I have a lot of extra PC parts. For instance, if you want a geforce4 mx440 instead of the radeon, I could subtract $70 from that.
