    Apple Power Mac G5
    dual 1.8 ghz PowerPC processors
    1.25gb DDR ram (2x512, 2x128, four ram slot mb)
    160gb SATA hd (room for one more SATA drive)
    GeForce FX 5200
    DVD-RW
    USB, FireWire, ethernet, 56k modem
    OS X 10.4.11 (clean install, all updates as of today)
    Classic environment (You can run OS 9 apps on this machine)
    iLife '05
    Comes with orig usb keyboard and wired mighty mouse.
    Power cable, dvi adapter, restore cds, manual, apple stickers for your car, etc, etc.

    This was originally a refurb machine from Apple. Over the last four years the only thing we replaced is the hard drive, the orig 80gb died so I put a newer 160 in there.

    UPDATE: Ok, I think I jinxed myself with that last statement, I was just checking over the system and I noticed that there were some fan failure messages in the system log. I checked it out and the two fans in the power supply are not spinning. I'm trying to see if it's a simple fix, but it's likely the power supply is on it's way out. For now the system still works great, but I think running it with no power supply fans it's only a matter of time until it overheats and dies. So, make an offer.

    UPDATE2: Some compressed air got the fuzz out of the PSU and the fans are working again. Since I just reinstalled the OS today I can't read the log to find out how long it's been running with the PSU fans stopped.

    ps has been working great, no problems.

    Price: *SOLD*

    hmm. no. I don't think I'd end up using them. I think you're gonna pass those on to your grandkids someday.

    I would trade for one of the following
    195/65r15 winterforce tires
    205/55/16 summer tires
    new agx struts for GC


    or, partial trade towards a 2004 or 2005 white WRX wagon with 5spd, bonus points for no tint and sti hood scoop. :biggrin:
