[QUOTE="amw_drizz, post: 1211247, member: 87949"] Alright, I have the chance to get my hands on the following system. PowerMac G5 PPC Quad 2.5ghz 9gb of ram 1.6 TB of space in a Raid 0 array Nvidia 6600 GPU Running 10.5.8 (I already Know this is the latest OS that I can load on it) Also comes with 160 external fire-wire hard drive and the new style flat aluminum apple keyboard The person selling it says it is still like new with very minimal / non-existent case damage. And it still works with no problem at all. The current asking price is $400.00 and he says he is firm on it. What are you opinions? I've already sold the older G4 I have, and I am looking for a replacement mac, for web programing (php/mysql) along with ruby (not ror) work as well. I know the PPC processor is going to be the kill switch for some of the newer programs. But Mac Pros, and new mac mini's are out of my price range. So your opinions on the specs/price above? The seller originally wanted 800 but re listed for 450 and told me that if I buy it he will knock $50.00 off just for the drive time (1hr and half way) Also, I will be looking at the system in person tomorrow. So if any of you have any suggestions on what I should look for I would like to hear it. Cause if it checks out and I get a good positive response I will pick it up tomorrow. TIA Jon [/QUOTE]
