Ok, I keep getting people who tell me they want to buy it and then I lose contact with them. Gonna post here then put it up on eBay.

If you're wondering why I'm getting rid of such a great machine, it's simply because I don't have the money. I'm living in San Jose, I'm a full time student, and I don't have a job. That should be reason enough, heh.

150% complete 20th Anniversary Macintosh
BRAND NEW Subwoofer/Base unit
Perfect condition LCD, not one dead pixel
Unit is in almost perfect condition save a little tiny 1/2 mm cut in the leather hand rest (not noticeable unless you actually look for it, easy fix with leather kit if you're picky.)

Has absolutely EVERYTHING, including the original protective plastic wrap and all original packaging. The best condition and most complete TAM outside buying a new one.

800x600 LCD Screen
BOSE Acustisound Speakers (Amazing quality)
BOSE Subwoofer (Awsome)
250MHz 603ev PowerPC Processor
4x Vertical Multimedia CD-ROM
64MB DIMM RAM (Upgraded from 32MB)
512k L2 Cache (Upgraded from 256k)
AM/FM Radio & TV Tuner
AUX & RCA Jacks for video/audio capture
Secondary ATI Video capture card (Addition)
10/100 Ethernet Card (Addition)
Apple 28.8 Data/Fax Modem
Apple Multimedia Remote Control
All books, inserts, manuals, everything.
ALL packaging. Boxes, foam, covers, plastics, etc.
*BONUS* HUGE instore poster used to advertise the TAM.

Now a little history on the unit. The VP of international sales at Apple owned the computer and it sat on his desk for a couple years (he told me he very rarely used it.) Then it went home and sat in his closet. Then he stuck it on eBay and I bought. Basically, I only used it as an expensive stereo and a "what is that" piece for parties and stuff. (Yeah, I'm a real geek.)

This is a real gem for any avid Mac user. If I was rolling in money right now I'd keep it, but I just can't afford anything right now. I've even reverted to a free internet service as I can't even afford $20/month internet.

Below is a picture of the unit.

Oops, forgot about price.

I saw a similar setup on eBay (not as complete either!) go for almost $1800. I had offers as high as $1600, but as I mentioned I seem to keep losing any contact with these people.

Do to current economic conditions (thanks a lot, Shrub) I can't expect as much as I originally wanted for it. I would REALLY like $1200 for it, but price is negotiable.

You can post here or email me: olepigeon@yahoo.com

I would LOVE to take this machine off of your hands, but I just don't have the cash. I remember lusting after this computer when it cam out. Just the thought of having someone from Apple personally come to your house and set it up! The ultimate in coolness. Well, if you ever decide to come down on the price, I would be interested. Alas, I am but a poor college student as well. Best of luck...
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?
