I just bought this off ebay

Apple G4 IMac 17" LCD 1GHz, 80GB , 768mb Ram, DVD/CD-RW, no airport or bluetooth. Comes with Tiger loaded.

Cost $430 and comes with a 30 day replacment if it breaks. Is this a good deal?

I think that's a good deal. I've used my friends 17 inch G4 iMac and they are very nice machines. Did it come with the pro speakers, keyboard, and mouse?

 

[buzzfgo]

No speakers, but the keyboard and mouse did.

Still a very good deal.

Did you get the Tiger DVD? If so, good.
If not, it's
1) Pirated and
2) you're gonna have trouble when you need to reset a password or reinstall the OS.

I haven't gotten it yet, it's on the way. But I don't think it will come with the cd/dvd. Will I have any problems if I just buy the latest ver of OSX?

That's still a good deal even though the speakers didn't come with it.

Probably no problems, but you'll be about $140 poorer.

Yep and having problems now with the fireware I had brought my imac g3 os x 3.9( I upgraded from Apple.com) it had OS X 2 on it before. this is another person who is asking the same question. I too have no system software, or any other software for the imac, the guy sent was 2 keyboards & a mice for the imac g3, which the other keyboard was useless, and I got a manual from him, nothing else was in the box, I even checked twice. I brought last year from Ebay, and when I tried to email the guy who sold me the imac, it said unknown person/unknown person. There is a way to reset it, but I moved, and in the move I lost that reset note I had written down. I know there is a reset way of doing it. But I havent been able to find it I was wondering if anyone knows that the reset things are??
