I am thinking of unloading this before Adobe comes out with CS3; seems it will be worth a fair bit
more as long as it can run those apps at full speed. This is a rev b (see sig). I bought it right after
it came out in May '05; 4 months later the rev c came out. There are advantages to each revision:

- the rev b can easily be opened, and has 2 user-accesssable RAM slots. The HD can easily be swapped.

- the rev c has only one RAM slot (so max of 1.5 GB RAM unless you shell out HUGE $$$ for 2 GB stick).

- the rev c has iSight, a better video card and Front Row (vs my hacked version).

It is a 20" 2 Ghz with 2 GB RAM in mint condition with all packaging, discs, and wireless keyboard/mouse,
and Applecare through May '08.

How much can I realistically expect to get?
Pismo 400 Mhz 512MB 80GB 7500RPM Tiger/OS 9
iMac G5 20" 2 Ghz Rev B 250GB 2 GB RAM Tiger
iMac G3 600 Mhz 384MB 160GB 7500RPM Airport CD-RW Tiger/OS 9
iMac 233 Mhz 384MB 80 GB 7500RPM, MCE 24X CD-RW Tiger/OS 9

$900-$1000 I think. You can pick up G5s like mine ( 1.8GHz, 17", SuperDrive, 2Gb of RAM, 80gb HD) for around $750-800 normally.
