*Based on the spec given, how much is the price for this lappie?
my friend want to sell it to me, but i dont know the price,
can anybody help me

below 2k

Power Mac G5 lappie? Kakakaka.

There is no Mac laptop with a G5 processor. Check with your fren again.

sori, its desktop, my mistake

Hmmm... That's right... It must be a PowerBook G4... Oh... Not bad ma... How old is the machine? I think should only be around RM1000 to RM1500

bout 4-6 months i think...

Are you kidding me? It was first release in June 2003.

About 900 sing.

I did a brief price check on mac2sell.net
These old powermacs are still desirable.

edit:

I believe the current mac mini c2d is
more powerful than the powermac and
more futureproof too.

-yap

It should be around RM2.5k, minus out the monitor & Mac Tiger.

Oh, by the way, if you buy, dun install Leopard on it,install Tiger instead.
Leopard's kinda sluggish on Power chips.

I think i mention this before

As person A and person B evaluate things differently, 2nd hand value works on the basis of buyer willing seller willing. It is difficult to gauge the "correct" 2nd hand value for it. as Mac2sell.net is a reference bench based on spec and age, nothing else.

Like what ChopSuey said, mac mini c2d is a cheaper option with better specs. Hence my personal opinion is that if this PowerMac is more than 2k, its not worth it. If i were to purchase it myself, i would only play 1.5k at most.

Honestly, i think powermac G5 retains its value because it looks like the current powermac.

Even better if you could install Panther..more faster..

if below 2k, pm where can i get it. interested here.

ok sorry to dig out old thread here.

but recently i was offered a PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 with 1.5gb ram (not sure about other specs) with 30" ACD. actually i am really interested in the 30" ACD only but my friend insist of selling both.

How much would you think it will cost for the PowerMac and 30" ACD?

Thanks

i can imagine this...

Quad G5 full load...

ACD 30" full brightness...

electricity bill...

how much is he asking for...?

around 1500GBP which should be around 9000MYR

is it worth it? i still need to pay for the transportation fee. Furthermore the powermac is in his office and used to surf web on safari. what a waste of resource

The spec is as below:

Powermac G5 Quad 2.5Ghz
1.5gb ram
500gb hard disk
30" Apple cinema display

is it worth the price he is asking for?
i just want the ACD

is ir worth getting a PPC based Mac nowadays? as OS X Leopard will be the last OS X that supports PPC archiecture.

Still worth if your software is old version like Final Cut Studio, not ver. 2. And as momento of last PPC architecture is quite worth it, maybe can try to run Cinema 4D 64bit on G5..

Looks like price wise is quite high..maybe you could ask for bargain..especially on CPU itself.

i am not sure how much will a used 30" ACD will worth. I have checked the CPU its around 400-440 pounds here for a used unit. i guess i could bargain if i know the price for a used 30" ACD.

i just bought a g5 dual 1.8ghz, running leopard compare to tiger , leopard i think still fast but u need a GPU at least ati 9600 or above else the candy eye on leopard will be lagging/slow.. and u need a fast hdd and at least 2gb ram to make it smooth.
compare with my new alu macbook, g5 just bit slow on certain stuff but running programs like aperture/final cut or photoshop still quite fast.

my spec were
dual 1.8ghz
2gb ram
2x 160gb HDD raid0
leopard
ATI 9800 pro 128mb

oh ya price, i bought it over ebay + shipping almost 3k

Malaysian seller or International?

the seller from US. Thats why shipping so expensive.

Aiyoo..Just now found someone here want to sell G5 with good price..

ya i also see but sudden the topic gone d.. lolx.
but still 3k plus lar if im not mistaken.. bro pm ur phone number i lost d.. got some question need to ask u pro.

hmmm. so how much should i offer the price for PowerMac G5 Quad with 30" ACD? Well, i am in UK so transportation shouldnt be a problem. I just need to know that i pay for what i get

for quad i seen around ebay selling almost RM4k ringgit.. u think lor..

lol i need to know the price for 30" ACD. i roughly know that quad G5 cost like 450-500 GBP but would an used 30" ACD cost 1k to justify the price my friend offered?

using current conversion rate it will be around rm5.5k

for both i think acd ask him sell u RM5k then should be ok.. acd if still under warranty then be good. else soon u find out got dead pixel then gg, no acpp to protect u .
