I paid $500 for my first 8500. It blew it's PSU and Mobo when our power pole down the street got hit by lightning. Picked up another one from Orion for the price of shipping and a few bucks.

I love the 8500's. As much as I love the BeigeG3MT's I have more love for the 8500's. It was the first Mac I purchased with my own money.
