Mac G4
« on: September 02, 2009, 10:37:24 PM »
Hi there, i know this is a little "off topic" at least for now till the moment MorphOS port is released for this platform.

However i've got an offer for a 1,8 Ghz Mac Mini, full equiped and TFT Sony monitor for 250 euro.

Should i take it? Is it a fair price?

Cheers!

I guess not, AFAIK there were no G4 macminis over 1,5ghz.

But as long as it has 1gb ram and it was manufactured on late 2005 it has to be one 1,5ghz... Rigth?

Not bad in any case, but i wonder if the price is a good deal for the unit + original keyboard + original mouse + sony 17" tft screen.

Yep yep, it's confirmed it's a G4 machine, what i can't confirm is the clock speed, but it was produced on late 2005 so it would probably be 1,5ghz. Is the only thing i must have confirmed at this moment.

Okay, here are the news. The computer is not in my hands still, because the dude lived in Madrid, however i sent one friend of mine to go there and GRAB IT ASAP. So the G4 is safe at his place by now.

For what he told me, the computer is in a perfect conservation status, not a single scratch on it's surface and booting and running software really fast without problems.
Original Leopard installation disc, original Apple keyboard and one of these button-less mac mouses. All the cables, original package mint condition and a nice 19" Sony TFT screen in working order.

About the specs, the device is INDEED an 1,5 with 64mb video Ram, upgraded to 1gb RAM and having 80gb HDD. I even got the spare 512mb ram module from the guy.

Everything went smooth as silk.

It seems i made a great buy here.

Thanks to everybody for the support.
