Update: Sold!
I'm selling my Power Mac G5 Quad. I don't use it nearly enough to justify keeping it. This is the ultimate studio machine or application server, and I just don't need the speed or beastly power. Don't get me wrong—I love it. I've just realized in the past few months that I use the laptop much more and I don't want to be tethered to a room anymore.
The beast is as follows:
- Two dual-core 2.5GHz G5 processors
- 4.5GB of RAM
- 410GB of hard drive space (a 250GB drive and a 160GB drive)
- Airport Extreme
- Bluetooth 2.0
- Dual Gigabit ethernet
- nVidia GeForce 6600 with 256MB of GDDR SDRAM
- 16x SuperDrive (double-layer)
You can see a few photos of the machine in my Quad set on Flickr. It's covered under AppleCare until December 28, 2008.
Also included with the machine:
- Apple Pro Keyboard
- Mighty Mouse
- Mac OS X Tiger
- iLife '06
- DVI to VGA adapter
What this package is worth:
- Quad: $3,399
- RAM: $500
- Extra HDD: $100
- AppleCare: $349
- Total: $4,348 (not including $375 in taxes I paid)
What I'm selling it for, excluding shipping:
$3,299, which is $349 cheaper than a standard Quad with AppleCare would cost you from Apple (even more savings if you consider tax). Sold!
You save over a thousand dollars on this package.
I would love to sell this to someone local to NYC, but I'm willing to ship it if necessary. I estimate shipping will cost around $150 in the US, I'm not sure about shipping to a foreign country but will consider it.
