Selling My Apple G5 Mac Tower
It’s a sad sad day. I’m selling my baby, my fully loaded Mac G5 on ebay. I tried to list the apple tower on craigslist, but continued to see a horrendous amounts of spam and heart breaking low ballers. Any serious offers eventually lead to people no call no show or backing out at the last minute. I’m absolutely baffled that people pay 4K for a new mac pro tower with the same processor speed and can’t see how this is an amazing deal. Regardless my computer has served me well and churns out amazing performance for professional audio and video editing.
Here are a few details:
* QUAD 2.5 GHz PowerPC processors – Late 2005 Model
* FASTEST G5 Mac produced by Apple
* UPGRADED 4.5 GB RAM memory
* UPGRADED 500 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
* UPGRADED nVidia 7800 256 MB Video Card with dual DVI ports
* Upgraded Wireless Apple Airport Card
* Firewire 400 + 800
I’ve included a few pictures in the gallery attached.
So why bother selling it?
A few reasons really.. Mostly because my Dell Laptop died a few weeks ago, and I need a laptop for djing purposes. I made the switch from vinyl and cd to serato back in 2006, and its pretty much impossible to dj without your own dedicated laptop. Not to mention, the new laptop will come mighty handy for the road, and work meetings. Once I sell the tower, I’ll have the fun task of researching the various mac book pros, the mother board configurations, and any sound issues associated with all of them. If you have any advice or words of wisdom, i’d love to hear about them. In the mean time, check out the ebay listing and let me know if anyone’s interested!
