Local Craigslist has a 20 inch G5 iMac, 1.8 MHz, 2GB, 150 GB HD, OS 10.4.11, CS3 Suite, keyboard, mouse, original install disks. All for $600. Is that a decent price?
... only the ones that use coolant fluid. Most of them don't. My G5 has almost 5 years strong and the only failure so far was a weird brown pillow shaped capacitor in the power supply.The PowerMac G5s are doomed to coolant system failure (leaking coolant). :-(
1.9 and 2.1GHz iMac G5's are fine.Don't touch G5 iMacs, too many problems. If you really want a G5, buy a Power Mac. So far, no problems with the Intel iMacs.
I think that's going to become an Internet phenomenon, isn't it?... It doesn't even come with a Floppy Disc Burner!!!
As cool as MDD's are I think thats rather steep seeing as how the G4 is the new G3 in today's world.Thanks for all the replies. The same Craigslist had a MDD (2003) DP 1.25 for $350, which I think is a little high, but haven't done an eBay comparison.
I would suggest a dual core processor. Besides, 1.8 MHz really isn't very fastLocal Craigslist has a 20 inch G5 iMac, 1.8 MHz, 2GB, 150 GB HD, OS 10.4.11, CS3 Suite, keyboard, mouse, original install disks. All for $600. Is that a decent price?
