I'm selling an older dual processor PowerMac G4. It's a bit skimpy on the specs, but it's a great base system for installing upgrades and so forth. Here's what it has:

Dual 450 MHz G4 processor
512 MB of RAM
30 GB hard drive
12x CD-RW drive pulled from a Quicksilver
Rage 128 Pro video card with ADC and VGA ports
No modem
Apple Pro Keyboard with USB extension cable and Apple Pro Mouse included

The Pro Mouse is fraying a bit where the cord connects to the mouse, but I thought I may as well include it since I don't have a use for it here. Other than that (and the lack of a hard drive), this system is pretty complete. It's fine for general use in OS X. Add a hard drive and a good monitor and you've got yourself a fine computer to use as a server, stats cruncher, or as a primary computer. Having dual processors really helps a lot with OS X.

My asking price is $575 shipped, via UPS. I will include insurance and tracking with that. I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, so anyone who lives near here is welcome to do a local pickup to save on shipping costs.

If you want better graphics, I also have a Radeon Mac Edition that I'm selling on eBay here. The Radeon will enable Quartz Extreme, which should make the OS X interface much smoother.

EDIT: Here are some pictures of the computer:

Well, I just found a hard drive I can include with this thing. So, now the machine includes a 30 GB hard drive and I'll put fresh installations of OS 9.2.2 and 10.3.3 on it.

I've also bumped the RAM to 512 MB (two 128 MB DIMMs and one 256 MB DIMM).

Price will be $575 shipped now.

I'm interested. Is the graphics card AGP?
