Apple Power Mac G5 2x 2.5GHz
Due to me not doing as much Photographic work as I thought I have decided to sell my 1yr old Power Mac. For those of you who are Apple fans you will already know how powerful these machines are, but for those of you who may be interested in making the switch to a Mac here is the spec.
Apple Power Mac G5
2 x 2.5 GHz liquid cooled cpu’s (64bit)
2 GB Ram (4x512mb) 4 slots free
160 GB SATA drive
Pioneer DVR-110 dual layer burner
ATi 128mb 9600XT graphics card
Airport Extreme wireless adaptor
Built in gigabit, fire wire, USB 2, 56k modem, sound etc...
I have all the restore CD's, boxes, instructions, keyboard & mouse etc but I will also throw in an original Tiger DVD OS X 10.4 and from there you can update to 10.4.3 once on the net.
I also have loads of software that I will no longer need, Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium, Virtual PC with WinXP, Office 2004, Toast Titanium and a whole lot more that I have probably missed off.
I will of course be formatting the drive before it leaves my home and collection is preferred (Camberley, Surrey) so that we can load a fresh copy of Tiger on to prove that everything is working ok.
Not sure on price really, this thing cost me about £2,300 last year with the extra RAM & Airport so I'm guessing about £1,200 is fair? If I am way off let me know as I am only judging this price by recent ebay sales.
Cheers

Does the price include the monitor?
Yes it is still available but after a few days on my PC I am beginning to change my mind...

Yeah no monitor included, just the same as if you bought from Apple.
I still have the box, instructions etc in my loft so can post if need be but would prefer a pickup as it's bloody heavy.
Not much more to add really as I think I have covered just about everything. Fleabay is generating a bit of interest but never to sure how many messages are from genuine buyers and how many are scammers
