At long last I have finally migrated on to the Intel era, and up for sale is my
last trusty G4 tower, a real powerhouse in its day which was still pretty good
even running OSX 10.5.8:
The Good:
- Power Macintosh G4 1.42 gHz Dual Processors (FW800, 2003), with the
huge copper heat sink
- Model ID: PowerMac3,6, Model #M8570, Apple part #M8841, Apple order
#M8841LL/A
- 167 mHz bus
- 2 GB Ram (4 x 512 MB PC2700U-25330 DDR SDRAM)
- Bluetooth, AirPort Extreme & Gigabit ethernet installed (56k modem,
too, for nostalgia buffs)
- 2 x Firewire 400 and 1 x Firewire 800 ports
- 2 x USB 1.1 ports
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB video card in a 4x AGP slot
- Serial ATA PCI Card, one internal, one internal or external connector
- Extra Firewire 400 3-slot PCI card
- Extra USB 2.0 4-slot PCI card
- 2 upgraded, non-Apple optical drives installed (ATA bus):
- Optiarc DVD RW AD-7201A
- TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S222A
- One has LightScribe capability, both are either 20 or 22X for
DVD and 48 or 52 x for CD
- Will run (but not boot into) OS 9 through Classic support in OSX up
to Tiger, 10.4.11; this is the most powerful (and second to last) G4 tower that
can do so
- Last Power On Self Test: 3/5/12 1:20 PM (Passed)
The Bad:
- No hard drives installed (I have too many sensitive things on both to
fully trust overwriting) but all HD brackets included (four total, 2 x Ulta
ATA/66 and 2 x Ulta ATA/100, or use the SATA card for connecting up to two
internal drives)
- Had a issue with cold restarts in the past few weeks, pulled the PRAM
battery (and never got around to replacing it), and then would fire up fine
when you first pull the power cable and re-plug it back in. Don't know if a new
PRAM battery will solve that issue or if it is a power supply issue or whatnot.
Has been nearly continuously running for the past several years.
- Also no keyboard, mouse, printer, monitor or anything else not in the
tower case itself included.
The Price: $400 shipped CONUS via UPS, this thing weighs over 45 pounds, and
shipping will be a significant part of this price. Anyone in the metro Atlanta
or northern Georgia area who wants it can get a serious discount from the
asking price, with pick up.
