Title: G5, X800 XT, 16x SuperDrive for sale...
Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on August 17, 2005, 04:58:29 pm
Hey guys,

I'm selling my G5 on eBay and will be buying a faster one (probably the Dual-2.3GHz G5).  I just wasn't happy with the upgrades I put in it (the X800 XT Card, 16x SuperDrive, etc).  Since my daughter is in school now, I can buy on Apple's Educational Pricing Plan!  muhahahaha

Peace,

-GhostSniper Out.


P.S. The link on eBay to my G5 is:

For the ATi Radeon X800 XT 256 Graphics Card:

And the 16x SuperDrive:

P.S. It's not a typo where I put it includes 1.5GB RAM...I'm stealing 1GB out for my new mac.  ;)

lol, right, she just started school and gets a Dual 2.3Ghz G5! ::lol:: ;) Why don't you get the Dual 2.7Ghz modell, though? With the X850 XT which is only available via BTO at the Apple Store so far, nowhere else.

Wife won't let me fork out the extra cash for the 2.7GHz.  I'll be lucky to get the 2.3GHz model.  I have the money, she just won't let me spend it!  bah!  NEVER GET MARRIED!

GS you shoulda saved like 200,000 dollars before you told her how much you got paid. (guessing you were married before you got your job there) You'd be set for life for computers and anything impulsive you wanted to buy almost.

Yeah, I've been married for 11 years...way before I ever got this job.  I got married November 12, 1994, right about the time I switched from the Army to the Air Force.

GS, you COULD donate that G5 to me (MARCO) because of my extreme financial plight and just think of the tax write off you would get - PLUS - my daughter starts school soon and i really think "Jump_Start Kindergarten" will run much better on a G5 than my crappy old eMac - besides you are from Oklahoma - so you know how incredibly bleak the economy is here   ;-)

P.S. I'll buy a Ford if you donate that Comp to the "Donate a G5 to MARCO fund"

Yours truly,
MARCO

lol...all very good points Marco!  However, I have removed all my listings from ebay and have decided to keep my G5 until Apple releases the Intel Macs next year.  Then I'm gonna upgrade to one of those.

Excellent choice, GS. I might have to follow you on that one, whenever I actually leave home for a 4 year college.
