well it isn't vintage yet... it is still a very capable machine and the difference from 2.0GHZ to 2.3 is not much, only 300MHZ anyways... and with 16 gb ram this thing doesn't stut…
You'd be lucky to get $700. Honestly, you're insane to think you'll get more, or the buyer is a sucker. They're almost vintage. You never get your investment back with upgrades, an…
What if one person wants to pay $500 and another person offers $1500? Is the machine worth $500 or $1500?

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram.
He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100 …

A system, or any item, is worth however much someone wants to pay for it. If someone pays $1500, then it is worth $1500. If someone would only pay $500, then it is worth $500. It i…

My feeling is that every computer will get obsolete.
You pay 3K 2.5 yr's later it's worth 1.5K or whatever...
if you got it at a good price and you are happy with it, that's all…
None the less, the G5 did get screwed with 10.6 BUT it will not stop working B/C of that...
How many people actually buy a new OS when it first comes out, I myself do not go out o…

$1000+ for a dual 2.0GHz model?? You guys must be joking right? I've seen QUAD core models selling under $1000 since BEFORE 10.6 came out. Just this past summer I watched a quad…
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 …
When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa?
I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…
The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find.
You can f…
I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together.
Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display…
There was one auction where a G5 went for 1200.00... Not bad...
But I'll keep it...
No reason for me to get rid of a good machine...
I was just wondering and just wanted an opi…
I checked eBay. $1500 would be on the high end of what you could sell it for. $1000 would be the minimum.
Sell it on eBay with those specs and I think you could clear $1200. Craig…

Well over $1500 $1000 for a setup like that. Snow Leopard depreciated the value somewhat (irrational people who think PPC is worthless now because it can't run Snow Leopard).

it's a Dual core, 2.0GHZ, 16GB ram, 1.4TB HDD's, Nvidia 6600LE Vid card, Pioneer DVD DL?
Where can I find a GOOD pcie Video card (in case I do not sell my G5) better than the Nvid…
