Also watch for ruined displays where the staff have cleaned them with
alcohol based CRT screen cleaner instead of proper TFT screen cleaner
(it etches into the screen) and possibly consider PC World's fine for
selling old computers as 'new'

This Wednesday, I saw an iMac offer at PC World Yeovil.
There was an iMac G5 1.6MHz Combo for I think =A3679.
And a 1.8MHz Superdrive for around =A3749.
PC World, Culverhouse Cross (Cardiff) has the 1.6GHz model for that
price
too*, plus it's on their web site.
Bear in mind that the Rev 1 iMac doesn't have the bigger drive/RAM,
Radeon 9600 and built-in Bluetooth/AirPort Extreme of the new
bottom-end
Rev 2 1.8GHz, which is =A3899. That's why the price has had to be
dropped
so much.
Note that some of the Rev 1's are proving to be a bit unreliable and
noisy if the forums (including Apple's) are anything to go by. If
you're
don't get one of the unlucky one's though that's a nice price. I was
comparing one with an eMac at the above-mentioned store on Saturday*.

* - and as usual, the models on display had been messed around
with, with
half the folders renamed to nonsense like "ppppppp". No wonder they
don't
work half the time. You'd think the staff would check the machines
on a
regular basis and repair them. I was one of the first people
through the
door, so I'm pretty sure they'd been in that state at least overnight,
probably for days/weeks.
