Edit: lower price.

I love this machine, but I have a one-time chance to get a faster box, so I'm checking into the feasibility of selling this one.

Powermac G4 PCI Graphics
400 MHz
1 GB RAM - 4 256MB modules, 4 RAM slots allow up to 2GB under OS X
2 hard drives - 1 stock 10GB 5400rpm, 1 20GB Quantum Fireball Plus LM 7200rpm, this was one of the fastest drives on the market when I purchased it
Retail Radeon PCI graphics - 32MB, includes s-video out with composite adapter
ixTV television tuner card
56k internal modem
DVD-ROM drive, plays DVD video with the Radeon using cracked DVD player under OS 9 or with DVD hack under OS 10
External Sony Spressa 4x4x24 Firewire CD-RW, external drive allows for disc-to-disc copying from internal DVD. Includes Retrospect Express.
Interex USB view 4 port powered USB hub - indicates bus activity via LEDs on the front panel, supports hub-powered USB devices

Apple 17" Graphite Studio Display, Mitsubishi Diamondtron screen

I'll install any OS(es) that you like, from 8.5 to 10.1, I can also include a LinuxPPC CD if you like. Other assorted software is available, email me if interested.

I'm asking $1750. I have priced out the various components on Ebay, and given everything that is included I think this is a very reasonable price. I have the original boxes, manuals, software, etc. for the monitor and Powermac. I will also send the original box and accessories for the Radeon, which is only 2 months old. Email if interested, mbbevers01(at)alumni.amherst.edu

Uhhh, how much is a 733 quicksilver? Answer 1699. I hope you're talking Canadian dollars.
Apple: bumping prices, not specs.

Edit: changed price

733 QS = $1699
17" Diamondtron = ~$300
Extra Ram = ~$100 (2 512MB sticks)
Upgrade to DVD/CDRW (I'm offering both) = $150
USB Hub = ~$25
PCI TV tuner = ~$60

Total = $2325+tax, w/o software

So I was a little high, I'm now asking $1750

I'll also include Unreal Tournament and Office 98 on CD, and might include some others too, if you know what I mean.

So, yes, you can get a comparably equiped QS for $575 more (before tax and software), which buys you a faster processor and 10GB of extra disk space. But, I should note that the drive that comes with the QS is only 5400rpm, while the 20GB drive in my machine is 7200rpm. Plus, the QS won't have s-video out, and the 733 has a smaller cache than the 400.
