1.5GHz G4 MacMini's on eBay $175.99
« on: December 22, 2011, 08:22:54 AM »
As the title says, there is an auction on eBay for 8 more of these.  Here is the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300590868848&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123

I just bought two of them to give away to developers that want to write software for MorphOS.  If anyone wants to help with that effort by chipping in some money to me to help pay for the systems I am buying to give away, contact me via email.  I am saving for my X1000 system, but thought the price and availability of these better G4 MacMini's with the 64mb VRAM was too good to pass up.  Specially when I have two developers waiting for systems and these are easy to ship cheaply.

Good luck and look quick, as the remaining 8 MacMini's will probably be bought quickly at that price.  They usually sell for almost double that price.

I paid $150 for MorphOS because its worth it...some people are just cheapskates.

I paid 150 euros for my first MorphOS license keyfile and 111.11 euros each for the second and third (IIRC).  No complaints about the price, or for paying for VAT, even though I live in the USA.

As far as I can tell, you get good value for your money spent, but everyone values their purchases differently.  There are few registered MorphOS2.x users that I have ever seen complain about the money they have spent in obtaining their registration keys.  MorphOS2.7 is an excellent OS.

I got one of them. Sometimes eBay gets the best of me.

Install MorphOS2.7 on it and you won't regret your purchase.

Congrats on buying one at that price.  I paid almost double for mine and it only had 512mb RAM, not 1gb when I got it.
