How much is this laptop worth? (1 Viewer)

How much is this desktop worth?

I'm thinking of buying this, second hand desktop,

Stats:

Its a Dual 1.8Ghz G5.
1G of RAM.
2x 80G HD.
128Mb ATI 9600XT
Mac OS X 10.3
8x SuperDrive
3 Months Warranty left on it

So how much do you think it's worth?

I've never heard of a laptop with such specs.

 

[INXS]

Well it's obviously a custom job. So any ideas on the price?

 

[equiski]

No idea at all. Alot. Thats an awesome set up though.

I wonder how long the battery lasts. :]

Do you have a link or is this guy local?

 

[INXS]

Just a mate who is selling this. I'm interested in buying, so how much do you reckon it's worth?

Any estimates?

 

[equiski]

No sorry. I still can't believe it is a laptop. If it is... it must be huge. And heavy.

Seriously, a dual G5 laptop with 2 harddrives. Crazy.

I can only price the RAM, HDDs and Video Card. Making an educated guess, I'd say probably about $2000.

The video card is ~250, the hard drives together would be be ~400+, and the video card about ~250. That's only 900, as you can see, but I don't know about the processor or this 'Smart Drive', or whether the warranty is factored in.

I wouldn't buy a laptop with only 3 months warranty, though. Not worth it, I don't think.

No warrenty is fine, i can get it extended if i want to, an extra $200 will extend it.

So including the processors etc.. what do you reckon?? around $2300-2500??

$3000 + (10 characters)

Hahaha...fantasy laptop!

Yeah I'd like an apple powerbook with daul 2.7 G5 processors running 8gigs of ram...


the bloody thing would melt...considering that the actual TOWER with daul 2.7s has water cooling...

Thankyou............

I'd still say $2000+ , but I wouldn't go higher than 3000. It depreciates too quickly to be over 3000.

Maybe it's a desktop machine with shoulder straps?

He told me it was a laptop by accident, but actually it is a desktop. How does this affect the price?

alot laptop bits are more expensive


Its a Dual 1.8Ghz G5. - like $200 second hand
1G of RAM. - $150 if generic second hand
2x 80G HD. man around 50 a 80 gig drive so about $100
128Mb ATI 9600XT - 200 tops second hand
Mac OS X 10.3 - $200 maby i dunno i only deal with ms
8x SuperDrive superdrives aint that good ild say $150 tops
3 Months Warranty left on it - nothing 3 months in worth nothing

i wouldnt pay more then 1 grand if its just a tower


you need more specs like what kinf of audio card does it have ?
if its a high end one add another 100
if its got a hdtv tuner best quality add another 100
nice 17 inch lcd add another 400

then the price his about 1600

+ the case it might be a custom antec job add another 75

total for every thing 1675

if he is telling you 2gs for the tower lol rip of.....
i know where to get better deals then this cheaper

Hmm IMO I would say as a desktop, the price would be lower as generally laptops with specs like that would cost more than a desktop with those specs...but I dont know too much abt duel processors...so I cant give u an exact price

 

[7th Sign]

hmm i was just doing a bit of research into this and apparently g5 macs are very good computers so you are expecting to pay more them what you would get from a computer store ie 1500-2000 for this sytem because of the build quality that g5s are...so i probly take back my previous comments about it been not worth 2 grand its possible that it could be worth 2 grand....if its in great condition....ild say about 1500 though if its in reasonable condition..
