you need the server verson to do that, not the client, but for 10.5 server is hard to find,I would just get a cheap mini g4 or intell and slap on 10.5 server or get a intell mini a…
This is the cheapest G5 I could find that didn't say Parts or Repair on it:

It's like a used car. Someone may replace the engine and all major support parts costing the person 5 grand in parts. But the car's only worth maybe 3 grand. This happens all the t…
to a realist it is, to mac fanatic its not, funny things about mac's I guess
whats going to be interesting is when these mactels start hitting vintage, that should even out the pl…
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…

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…

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…
