In about 10-15 years time they'll probably be making their own processors and video cards. Take that Hackintosh!

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…

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? Click to expand... Obviously, it's worth two different prices to two d…

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…

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…

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 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).
