Well finally decided enough is enough and upgraded from my G3 imac 500mhz and bought this.

 

Apple PowerMac G5

 

The computer is in perfect working condition with no problems.

 

*

Dual 1.8GHz G5 Processor

*

1GB DDR SDRAM (2 more free slots available)

* 160GB Hard DriveStorage (160GB SATA)

* Nvidia GF5200 Graphics Card with Dual ADC / DVI output

* DVD-RW/CD-RW (SuperDrive)

* Apple Keyboard and Mouse

* Apple OSX 10.5 included pre-installed.

 

The machine also includes the following software pre-installed. Apple iLife 08, Adobe Creative Suite CS3 (inc Acrobat, Golive, Illustrator, Imageready, Photoshop and InDesign)

 

It also has a near new 20" apple cinema display (currently selling for $899.00) at Apple stores.

 

He wanted $800.00 but with an older apple display and for an extra $200 changed it to a near new one (hardly used)

 

so for everything it cost me $1000.00

 

I remember when these PowerMac's came out (3 years ago:unsure) and were over $3000.00 to buy without the display.

Picking it up tomorrow or Sat

Someone please tell me I did the right thing :lol

 

edit: and system disks and software disks are included with windows preloaded (just so i can play Virtual pinball :))

He also included Officemac 08

Farkin sweet man:D Great price too mate. Now you will be able to watch youtube vids smoothley:lol

 

Damn encoding data is going to be bliss, might be able to do some more Pin vids, Time to rip out the old digital vid cam.

Not sure if the vid card is 64mb or 128mb but there are slots available (never had an Apple before where I can put in a newer video card Woo hoo!)

And have some desktop real estate will be so cool, two windows side by side, just shed a tear:lol and add another HDD OMG I think I felt a warm sensation in my pants.:lol

 

Missed out on the 2.5 ghz model he had by indecision on my behalf, a bit miffed about that. Just getting the spare room cleaned up ready for the launch, trying to work out if I can fit a bar fridge in there, and my Cocktail cabinet ;)

I don't know enough about the mac market to know, but damn mate, you sound happy enough! That's plenty for me to say you got a good deal :D

 

Cheers

Was starting to doubt the purchase, mate even my GF said you look like a kid in a candy store, my first big purchase for myself since FP. I said "and this actually works works without spending money on it" she said get a life and I said " I think I just did"

Ive always been a pc man who has admired macs from afar but I havent a clue to what they sell for. The G5 sounds like a nice bit of kit I doubt you will regret it in a hurry :) .

For what I do it will be a massive help;)
