This is a big ole feeler.

I'm considering trading my blackbook for a desktop, since I don't need a laptop as much as I thought I would, and I think a desktop might better suit my needs.

Anyways, I'm not interested in any mac mini's or iMacs, just the PowerMac G5's (or Mac Pro just kiddin). I'm not too picky about specs - I just want to see what might be out there.

I'd like either a straight up trade, or cash on your part depending on the system. I'm going to shy away from any deals that will want money on my part, BUT shoot them my way anyways just in case.

Anyways, the specs of my macbook:

- Black
- obviously, 2.0Ghz
- Superdrive
- 2GB of RAM
- 120GB, 5400rpm HD

All the usual BT, APE, etc etc. Basically it's the stock blackbook with upgraded RAM and HD. Was only purchased a month ago, so it still has 329 days of Applecare left. I also have a STM sleeve for it, and the mini-dvi to dvi adapter - both of which I wouldn't be needing anymore if a trade was made.

It's in perfect condition (spends most of its time on my desk), and I have all of the original packaging, software, accessories, etc. Also have the receipt.

So, yeah, like I said: big feeler, but if anyone might be interested, shoot me a PM or reply here.

Oh, should also mention: No, I'm not interested in selling this outright, or any of the upgraded components or anything. I'll either make a trade or I'll keep it.

Hey, thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for something with a bit more power.

It's funny how not so long ago, that would've been an absurd statement
