haha im glad you guys are all just as into this

it was CL... i'll copy the posting since links to craigslist posts always die.

it was funny, the first reply i got back was "we're trying to get rid of these things if you want to take a few..."

Clean Out Your Office is a computer and electronics recycling company. We scrap or resell your old unwanted items for often times no charge and sometimes can work with a revenue share program! Check out our Ebay store JCMPARTS!
Up for sale today is a lot of 8 Power Mac G5 Towers. Make an offer on the lot, a few of them, or one. They can be easily picked up at our Acton, MA facility. We are starting the bidding at $80 EACH. But send us your best offer!

These G5's were some of the latest G5's Apple made. Most of them have either a Dual Core G5 or Dual G5 Processors. Many have high end graphics cards and a few have aftermarket ?audio? cards. The RAM in many of these machines is maxed out. Many have Dual Layer Super drives.

These machines have been tested and are NOT fully functional. Below is a list of each machine and the test results.

S/N: XB33702CNVA G5 1.8 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, Superdrive DVDR, G5200GFX Powers on, does not boot

S/N: XB34909TNV9 G5 1.6 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, Superdrive, G5200GFX Powers on, does not boot

S/N: G85157UDRU4 Dual 2.7 Ghz G5 Processors, No RAM, Radeon 9600, DVD-DL SD, Powers on, does not boot (no ram) damaged aluminum, no side panel (looked like someone had dropped something on it i don't even know... the handle on the back was all smashed down and the door wouldn't fit on because the metal from the handle was all pushed down, so i just keep the clear side panel on but i do have the door too)

S/N: G86114LVUV1 Dual Core 2.3Ghz G5, 2 GB RAM, GF550, SD Powers on, DOES boot, HEAVY alumnim damage, loose side panel

S/N: G8451708QPS Dual 2.5 GHz G5 Processors, No Ram, SD, No video card Does not power on

S/N: G86166CGUUZ Dual Core 2.3 Ghz G5, No Ram, DVD-DL SD, GF6600 Powers on but no ram, damaged aluminum

S/N: G8513391RU2 Dual 2.0 Ghz G5 Processors, DVD-DL SD, Radeon 9600, 2.5 GB RAM Does not power on (when i got there they had tested it and it actually booted perfectly fine - this is the one that had the ultra320 card and whatever that graphics card is... still haven't got around to checking it out)

S/N: n/a Apple Certified Recondition. . .Dual Processor, 1 GB Powers on, does not boot damaged aluminum, damaged SD front

even though they both say do not boot, when i got there we tested them to turn on and they just showed the

. took them home, put hard drives in them, threw on 10.5.8 and they're great!

also i have no idea what's good with these particular G5's but the light that comes on when you turn them on is the brightest red light possible. not the case with my 1.8DP

anyone in the MA area might want to go hit them up... they had a couple more G4's and the rest of those G5's when i was there. had a few beige G3's and PowerMacs but nothing I didn't already have. the people that ran the place were very chill.
