G5 and 17" Formac Display Sold!

Fresh install of Leopard!
The machine that the Firefox logo was created on! ;o)
Office chair and casually dropped jacket not included!
A little light!
Ching ching ching! $$$!
This is an Apple iSight holder that's stuck to the back with a very strong sticky pad
Ahh, if these keys could talk......
I imagine (not too often mind)
Barnacles kept under here.
They would say "bloody hell there is a lot of dust and bits of sandwich inside me!"
This is a damn well designed computer. As all of Apple's :)
OMG! my coat, in shot with that Mac... anyone want to buy the coat that was in the photo with the computer that the Firefox Logo was created on?
G5 and 17" Formac Display Sold! by Jon Hicks.
UPDATE: This has been sold, thanks for the interest!

After almost 5 years of faithful service it's time for this hefty beast to go. What I have here is a 1.6ghz G5 (not dual processor - this was the very first G5!), with 1.5gb RAM and 150gb HD. Comes with Leopard installed, is in good condition and runs just fine (if a little bit noisily from the fans).

Also, a 17" Formac Gallery Display with ADC connector, which means it plugs straight into the G5 without needing an extra plug.

I'm looking for offers around £250ish, and it would need to be collection only from the Rissington Office (I don't want to get into postage). Alternatively, if there is a particularly needy _local_ charity or school I'd be happy to donate!

If only there wasn't an ocean between us (the computer and I, not you and I).

Perhaps as a piece of Web 2.0 memorabilia for the MOO-seum here at MOO HQ.

What have you replaced it with, out of interest?

Drew - I stopped using this 3 years ago, and have been using a G4 Powerbook, then a MacBook Pro instead ever since. Since then Leigh has been using it until her new iMac came, so it then became a rather bulky kids computer!

Too bad those wanks at Apple have essentially EOL'd these things with Snow Leopard no longer supporting PPC processors. Gonna have to do something with ours which is currently playing the role of internal file/app server.

And I was thinking why not put it on ebay and then give the money to charity, been the mac of the creation of FF logo should rise some nice sum. ;)

Very tempted to buy for my parents in Witney as they are having a hard time dealing with a Windows XP PC. Maybe OSX would be a bit easier for them to use. Does it come with firefox 3 or Opera installed ?
