ey.... I have a really badass powermac for sale. It includes Tiger 10.4.6, all original discs, and a bunch of software like FCP, Adobe Creative Suite, Macromedia Studio, iLife 05, Reason, Popcorn, Toast, ... too much to list. As for the basics of the machine itself:

- Quicksilver Case
- Dual 1.33ghz G4 upgrade from gigadesigns, VERY fast, faster than lower end G5s
- 1.5 gigs ram
- Twin 160 gig drives hooked up to a sonnet tempo raid card, striped together for an ultra responsive 300GB of disk space for ultra responsive performance and very high read/write speeds, ideal for video editing and gaming or other taxing disk use
- ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (DVI, VGA, and S video out), 128 megs with Artic Cooling ATi Silencer, much quieter than stock vid card fan, and it expells the heat out the back of the case
- Pioneer Superdrive, burn DVDs, CDs, whatever!
- Apple original airport card, and ethernet jack.... so wireless or wired, your choice
- Two firewire ports in back
- Two USB 1.0 ports in back, HOWEVER, also has a USB 2.0 PCI card installed, works great with tiger, so...
- 4 USB 2.0 ports in back
- Pro Speakers
- Pro Keyboard & Pro Mouse
- Front speaker was removed from the quicksilver case, and the port is now an intake port for a 40mm blue intake fan
- 120mm intake fan was replaced with an aerocoole xtreme turbine blue LED and chrome fan, and the grill was removed for less noise and beter airflow
- 60mm intake fan was replaced with aluminum bodied blue LED evercool fan, underclocked to 7 volts
- Power supply inner grill was removed for better flow and less noise
- All harddrives and optical drives have blue firefly lights in the molex connectors
- All IDE cables are silver round cables that look sweet and provide better airflow
- PSU harness wrapped for better flow
- Dummy drive door under the optical drive was modified to accept a 3.5" temperature monitor/fan controller that allows you to see the temperature of the CPUs, the 9800, and the case temp right before the power supply

Also includes original box, packaging, CDs, and loads of software. All in all this is the most tricked out best performing G4 system I've ever seen. On top of that, it's also quieter than any G5 system I've ever used. Considering dual 1ghz machines go on ebay for about $900-1000, and they aren't even maxxed out (ony 1 gig ram, lame video card, stock fans, no temp monitor, no raid card etc) I'm asking $1350 or best offer, WHICH IS A STEAL. Please email me thru craigslist with your offer!!! This will NOT last long!

WOW that Cool looking. How much time did you spend on it?

[imaxxedout]

Lots. It's a very nice machine.... quieter and faster than a lot of G5 systems I've used. The 7557 G4s have 2 megs of L3 cache... which is THE BEST G4 chip ever offered. Anything else has nudered cache or a complete lack of L3 cache. The only reason I'm selling is that I need to use Alias and a few other windows programs next year, so an intel mac is in my future.

That was when it still had a speaker, the intake fan is way cooler, literally!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Poor quicksliver was the victim of a bad dremeling job

[torpedobird]

Just a note on the machine, does it have just the two 160gb drives? It looks like there are the two (or may just one) original, and then the two others.

May help for selling it. Nice machine though, I love my quicksilver.

It has two 160 gig drives, raided together to act like one really really fast 300 gig hard drive.

There's no dremeling involved, and it looks great. I'm a stickler for perfection, so there was no modification to the case around the speaker area... I just mounted the small fan behind the speaker port.

$1200 obo.

I've told you before more than once Rob; You have 7455s, not 7457s. And certainly not 7557s, which never even existed.

Oh, and ban evasion is bad.
