I bought this machine in April 2004 from my local Applecentre, and it has given me 18 months of *amazing* computing! Never missed a beat, never repaired, never needed a clean install... it has just worked! I am so sad to be even thinking of parting with it!
It is fully boxed, with all manuals, install CDs, Mouse, Keyboard and receipt.
My work environment has changed recently, and my time is very constrained, so I hardly ever use the machine any more... I have ordered a MBP so I can use a computer while I am out and about, so I thought I'd offer the Powermac for sale. I hate to see it sitting unused in my office, a sale would help to fund the MBP purchase!
The specs are as follows:
Dual 1.8 G5,
1 Gig RAM (8 RAM slots, so you could put in 8 gig should you wish!)
3 PCI-X slots
160 Gig HDD
Superdrive
Airport
Here's the trick bit... I have a 9800XT 256mb Graphics card in it...
The card is a genuine Apple one, and was bought from someone who swapped it out of one of the later machines as it was 'too much' for them! It flies with games and graphics apps, and dramatically improves the graphics speed of the machine over the 5200fx that came as stock. (I will include the 5200fx in the sale too!).
The 9800XT card was never sold separately, only as a CTO in machines, and is a lot quicker than the 9800 Pros etc, so is rare, and a real steal.
The Powermac shipped with 10.3, but I am including the 10.4 upgrade CDs I have (genuine, not copies).
I am after £1000 ono which I thought was fair bearing in mind the spec of the machine, the extra graphics card and the mint condition... but may be open to a little negotiation!
Feel free to email me any questions, I'm always happy to answer them!
