could anyone please direct me to a place where I could get a new PPC G5 (possibly a Quad)? Is eBay really the only way? Doesn't anyone have these in stock anymore? I'm pretty stuck with AE, Combustion and CS2 and need a non-intel setup...unfortunately. I big bonus would be if someone knows how to get these things in Germany - since I'm currently working on a project here for the next 3 months. Oh, and if nothing else works - a used machine would do.

thx for the quick reply,

say, where does Apple (US) hide their refurbed products/promos on their Site? The search engine didn't find anything. Didn't find anything on the German site either.

On the Apple Store website, go to the "special deals" section (down there on the sidebar on the left) and you'll find them under "refurbished mac." There used to be a link on the Apple Store main page specifically for the G5 towers, but they're not there anymore.
