Thinking about selling my PowerMac G5...coffee table. What should I ask for it?

[That_Damn_Kid]

I have a pretty unique looking coffee table. I'm thinking about selling it locally and clearing up space in my room. What's a good price to ask for each computer, or everything together?

Both computers from what I was told have issues. What those issues are I don't know. They are missing at least a hard drive.

Broken PowerMacs are in the free to $75 range in the US... for the right buyer. Forget anyone paying for shipping.

Find the right buyer on CL and you'll be happy. I sold a single 1.8Ghz for $50 last weekend. I was happy to get that.

I'd be interested in the GPU possibly in the "left side" G5. Do you know what model it is? Also, what is your ZIP code/location? it may help potential buyers to know where this is coming from.

I'm located in northern Indiana. How do I find what GPU it has?

Those of you in the US are really fortunate when it comes to buying and selling Macs. Here in Europe I've rarely seen a G5 PowerMac - just the empty case (for Hackintoshing etc) - going for less than 50euros ($US53)
A quick check on local sites and I can see 2 empty G5 cases for sale at $US106 the pair. Plus shipping of course.

I guess the best way is to carefully remove it from the system and see any stickers on it. NorthEAST Indianna by chance? I am in Toledo, OH.

NVM.

Just realized the discussion was about GPU and not CPU.

I'll see if I can find it later tonight. I'm in the South Bend area, near the toll road.

Assuming that nothing has been replaced in the life of this G5, open the side door. Down towards the base of the Mac where the bottom of the door would be there should be a dark gray sticker. It will show the serial number and specifications for this Mac when it shipped.

2.3DC is a 2.3 Dual Core, 2.5 Quad is a 2.5Ghz G5 with two dual core processors, and so on.

Other than powering it on there's no other real way to know. But all bets are off if the CPU/logicboard has been replaced.

Left side appears to be a late 2005 to my eye. Either 2.0 DC, 2.3 DC or 2.5 QC. If it's one of the air cooled models and was still operational, that would be a sweet vintage Mac to own. OP...Should be a sticker after you remove the door towards the bottom, as eyongren mentioned, might give you a clue as to the original configuration. Either way, you could probably get a couple of bucks for these, case alone.
