I'm consolidating hardware, and this guy has to go.

This iMac is a 1.83 GHz Core Duo SuperDrive model, specs available below. I upgraded the RAM from 512 to 1.5GB and the hard disk to 500GB with a Seagate disk. I am an Apple Certified technician, and installed the drive myself. When I put the drive in about 6 months ago, everything was blown out, dust wise, so it is running as cool as possible. The EMI shielding has been re-affixed cleanly with kapton tape, and the display clips are gripping as good as new.

The unit is still under AppleCare until mid-2009 (forget the date) except for the hard drive, and the hard drive is under warranty from Seagate until Late 2012 (the disk has a 5-year warranty.)

The computer ships in its own original box with matching serial numbers and includes the original keyboard and Mighty Mouse. Also included are the original installation DVD set for OS X 10.4 and iLife '06. I just recently moved and will need to find the discs, but I know I have them. I think the remote disappeared in the move, but will include it if I find it (no promises.) I will not install any unlicensed or pirated software on the machine. The drive has been zeroed out and set up with a fresh copy of 10.4 and iLife 06.

Asking $650 shipped or $600 cash in Orange County, CA for local pickup. Please PM me with any questions. Thanks!

*** I have found the master DVDs, so that's taken care of. I also found the original 160GB Maxtor hard drive that I'll include for an additional $50 if the buyer would like it for AppleCare/warranty purposes as a spare.

Last bump on this guy. It is still available, and I'm willing to ship outside of the US for whatever the additional shipping cost is. You'll be responsible for any import tax, duties, fees, etc that your country may levy. No trades, please.

Here's pictures for those curious. And yes, that is a new Pro Keyboard rather than the factory one. You can have the factory one instead, but once I started cleaning it, I realized that the cats napping on the keyboard means lots of hair in there. Up to the buyer.
