How much can I get for my G5? — #14

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…

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…

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).

I noticed Leopard on there and this got me thinking... Why doesn't someone write up a script or something that will remove x86 code so as to have our own powerpc Snow Leopard?
