It's at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1222452523

reserve is $3600 and it's for two systems must sell so I can buy a G4

It's worth over $5000 total

Great gaming P4 rig! Amazing! It got a score of 8876 in 3DMark2000! Qauke III at 1600x1200 with 32bit color and all video a sound settings cranked gets around 60 fps! (56-62) Ultimate recording studio! For audio or video recording and editing!
Everything is new(from right before I put it together-used one week) except firewire card(3port - one is broken:-( but the others work fine!) I built this system as my dream system finaly got it finished and have had it running for less than a week so it is slightly used but this is also good because now all the bugs are out and I can tell you it runs solid barely ever crashing at all. (I don't use AOL) The reason I have decided to sell this is that I have decided that macs are amazing and that I wan't to get a G4. Don't get me wrong this is the ultimate gaming rig but I don't do a ton of gaming and for what I want to do the G4 is what I have decided I want. this also means that your geting a deal because this computer cost me about $4300 and now I'm just trying to get the money for my G4 scince this includes almost an entire k6-2 system also and a printer your getting it for less than the price it cost me plus for that price your also getting the k6-2 500 and printer!(the k6-2 is used but all the components work fine) Both systems are custom built by me with all brand name products. this is what you'll get:

I'm the one who converted him to the Macintosh platform! Before he was a Wintel fanatic!

Let me tell you what he's going to buy with that money! A Power Macintosh G4 Digital Audio system. It'll have 2 PowerPC 7410 (G4) 533MHz processors! Between 128 - 512 PC133MHz SDRAM. 2x40 gigabyte hard drives or one 60 gig HD. All 7200 RPM ATA/66! Likely an Apple Studio Display ADC CRT. Not only that but with an AirPort card, Zip 250 drive, DVD-ROM drive instead of CD-RW because he has an external 12x10x32 (at least), nVidia GeForce3 with 64 megabytes of DDR in a 4x AGP slot, 56k modem, Apple Pro speakers, Apple Pro keyboard, Mac OS X client and Mac OS 9.1!

Please, even if you're not interested... Post if you know someone who is interested and how my friend Coolman145 can contact him.

Nobody ever goes to the buy/sell forum, and that is the truth. Its great to see a new convert coming over to the Mac side. Good luck with e-bay, most of us aren't in the market for peecee hardware, no matter how high spec it is.

I know you would love to sell that for one lump sum, but you might have a better chance if you split it up into two separate auctions.

I would also go find a windows board and post there as well (but don't tell them you are buying a G4, might piss them off) Instead tell them that neither computer was beige enough and you are going to go buy a P4 that is more beige (PC guys get into that stuff).

Good luck on getting your G4

Later - Blizaine

I wouldnt mind a ~200 mhz pentium 2
It might make a good server w/ debian
