Apple PowerMac G5 dual 1.8
« on: January 03, 2016, 08:05:21 PM »
Anyone interested in this machine.  I have one and it is of no use to me.  It works great..needs hard drive and OS.  Pickup would be ideal shipping would be a nightmare..

Located in NY ..about an hour north of NYC..

Regarding OS: If gfx card is an ATI one, then OS can be MorphOS.
