1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows.
Then I was looking at it and I'm like How can I get rid of my G5...........

I also have a iLugger for it... I like to keep my stuff like new and that was my thinking when I bought the iLugger, I've seen more than enough G5 busted up... :-(

I have no problem with keeping the G5, people say a mac mini is faster... of course it is, it is 3 generations of chips ahead of the G5... But the G5 is faster than the newest MM IN SOME THINGS...

I am so anal with the G5 that when I clean it, I clean it!!! Fans get taken out and cleaned the PS get's 2 cans of air in the PS to make sure there is not dust in the or on the fans. AND some of the aluminum gets waxed so it does't bubble like on some G5's i've seen...

I've actually opened my G4 tower power supplies and vacuum then out. It works nicely. I take baby wipes to the cases of all my computers since I think "if it's good for baby which is delicate, then it's good for a computer."

iLugger eh? I was looking into getting one for my iMac G5 back when I had it because I didn't have a laptop at the time so I took it places(not coffee shops mind you). But, now that I have a laptop and I gave my replacement iMac intel to my folks. I don't need one, still it's a neat idea.

$1000? That's crazy! I can't believe they still are worth that much even with the intel switch.
