G4 350 MHz processor Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) - Model Nº M5183

This is a G4 350 MHz processor Apple Mac, 10GB HD, 640Mb RAM and ATI Rage Pro 128 AGP graphics card (16MB) which has both VGA and DVI output and offers dual monitor support. It has all the usual industry standard connectivity with USB (x2), Firewire (x2) and Ethernet (10/100 BASE-T) so great for internet/cameras/iPods/scanners/printers/routers etc. plus audio in/out connections. It also includes an internal CD-ROM drive and a power outlet for plugging a monitor in the back, nice touch as it frees up your wall plug sockets!

The Hard drive has been wiped, tested and reformatted. Then, as it is a dual boot model, clean installs of OS 9.22 (with all firmware/software updates applied) before a clean install of OSX 10.39 Panther (with all software updates applied) is put on the machine.

Software includes all the standard Mac items such as Safari, Internet Explorer, Mail, iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iChat, Preview etc. plus MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MSN & Entourage)

Good solid, usable, reliable machine, that is easily upgradable in terms of RAM, Graphics, HD etc.; ideal for your kids first computer, workshop, safe internet use, etc. etc.

It is sold without a mouse/keyboard/monitor, but if you need these, they can either be found on eBay, or I also have some options listed below…

The original Apple specs can be found here; http://support.apple.com/kb/SP123

Cosmetically the case has a few minor scuffs from normal usage which is to be expected, but generally speaking it is in good condition.

It's just £40 for this machine

Extras
I have an original Apple Airport WiFi card I could fit in this would for £20
Apple Extended Pro Keyboard I can do for £15, I think I may have a pro optical mouse, if so, £10

It has a 837 MHz processor, with an upgraded 80GB HDD, 1.5GB SDRAM and an upgraded ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card with 64Mb RAM. It also features an internal SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) optical drive.

It is running Mac OSX 10.411 Tiger (with all updates applied) plus, as it is also a dual boot model, it also has a full version of OS9.22 installed, again importantly with all OS updates and firmware updates applied.

It has all the usual industry standard connectivity with USB (x2), Firewire (x2) and Ethernet & Gigabyte Ethernet as standard (10/100/1000 BASE-T) so great for internet/cameras/iPods/scanners/printers/routers etc. plus 16 bit audio in/out connections.

The case design on the QuickSilver range is IMHO, the pinnacle of Apples product design at this period, simply stunning!

It has built in graphics support for dual monitors with separate ADC & DVI video output.

I have my standard studio software install on it, which I'm happy to leave on as you might find it useful, or you can simply delete it if you prefer, your choice… however, no discs/serial numbers are included with the sale.

By default this includes;

Adobe CS2 software suite with Photoshop, ImageReady, InDesign, Illustrator, Bridge, Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Distiller

Macromedia Studio MX with Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks and Freehand

MS Office 2004 (Word, PowerPoint, Excel & Entourage)

plus all the other usual suspects such as iTunes, Firefox, Safari, Spotify, iCal, Mail, Dictionary/Thesaurus, Toast Titanium, MSN etc.

Original Apple specifications can be found here; http://support.apple.com/kb/SP108

Extras
I have an original Apple Airport WiFi card I could fit in this would for £20
Apple Extended Pro Keyboard I can do for £15, I think I may have a pro optical mouse, if so, £10

Would you accept an offer for this machine? How old is it?
