Apple G4 1.25 GHz Mirrored Drive Door Tower

This Apple G4 Powermac 1.25 GHz Mirrored Drive Door is one of the fastest G4 towers ever made by Apple, and the MDD series is definitely the classiest. It was the last of the G4 series and was made in 2003 and 2004 as a re-issue "due to demand from users who still needed to boot MacOS 9." This machine has a 1.25 GHz G4 processor. Be advised that MDD's are very loud machines due to the number of fans used to keep them running cool. They have been nicknamed the 'Wind tunnel' for good reason.

There is an 80GB hard drive in this tower running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard with room for adding 3 more drives. It has 1.5 GB (1536 MB) of memory installed and that can be expanded to 2GB. The optical drive is a DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive (the second drive door accommodates an additional drive). There is 1 MB of L3 cache. It has iTunes, two browsers, word processing programs, a suite of brand name graphics programs and other software previously installed by an Ontario design studio. Ports include 2 USB, 2 Firewire, audio out, headphones jack and an Apple Pro speaker minijack.

Graphics are handled by an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. Note that this graphics card has DVI and ADC ports; it does not have a VGA port; you must either use a compatible monitor, add a VGA card or use an adapter (all options are on hand). It is shown running dual Apple monitors; an LCD and a CRT - photo taken Nov. 30, '09. It boots quickly, runs great and is very fast. This tower is priced at $490 and comes with an Apple Pro keyboard and optical mouse. There are 2 Apple acrylic ADC LCD monitors available as additional options if needed: a 15" and a 17" plus several CRT options up to 20". To inquire call Dave at (1)250.354.4633 in Nelson, BC.

Apple Computer Vintage Logo Wall Clock

"A is for Apple" was an '80's Apple ad campaign. This analog Apple clock measures approximately 10 inches in diameter, has a white frame with clear plastic lens over the face, and the quartz movement runs on one AA battery. Clock was purchased from GoldenOldieClocks of Post Falls Idaho and is not a genuine Apple product but would go well in any Apple collection. It is not silent, the ticking is audible, but it keeps accurate time and is large enough to tell the time across the room. This clock is priced at $25 plus shipping at cost or local pick up.

Apple 17" CRT Studio Display Monitor

For sale is an Apple 17" Studio Display CRT flat screen monitor in excellent working condition with original box and packing. Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200, making it perfect for digital media designers. It has 2 built in USB ports and the Apple ADC connector is powered directly from the G4 tower. A push of the monitor power button fires up the tower as well.

The clear plastic swivel base has a small crack in it (but it still supports the monitor) and a new replacement base is available. Shipping cost to bring this 66 pound monitor to Nelson from Burnaby was $50, so it is priced at $90 plus $35 for the replacement base (at cost if wanted).

Apple G4 Dual 1.25 GHz Mirrored Drive Door Tower

Apple G4 PowerMac Dual 1.25 GHz MDD computer. This is one of the fastest G4 towers that Apple made, and the Mirrored Drive Door series is definitely the most beautiful with the chrome and portholes reminiscent of a Buick Roadmaster from the 50's. This computer shipped with dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processors and 2 MB of level 3 backside cache on each processor. It rocks.

The hard drive is an 80GB running OS X Tiger 10.4.11 with room for adding up to 3 more of your own drives. There is a 1.25 GB of memory installed and that can be expanded to 2 GB. The optical drive is a DVD-Rom/CD-RW "Combo" drive with a second bay available for an additional drive. It has iTunes, iPhoto, Garage Band, 3 web browsers, 2 email clients and a suite of word processing software installed and it is internet ready.

Graphics are handled by an ATI Radeon 9000. Note that this graphics card has DVI and ADC ports; it does not have a VGA port; you must either use a compatible monitor(s), add a VGA card, or use a DVI-VGA adapter. It supports dual displays. It boots quickly, runs great and is very fast. Be aware that MDD's are very loud machines - nicknamed the "Wind Tunnel" - due to the number of fans used to keep it running cool. Even though these are considered "desktops" they are best placed under the desk.

This tower is priced at $550 with a power cord, black Apple Pro keyboard and optical mouse as shown (or $35 less if the keyboard and mouse are not needed). A brand new factory sealed white Apple keyboard is an available option. There are 2 Apple acrylic ADC LCD studio display monitors available as additional options if wanted: a 17" and a 20". Several inexpensive CRT monitors are also on hand. This could be a complete and powerful "plug and play" system built to your requirements. To inquire call Dave at 250.354.4633 in Nelson, BC. Local pick-up only.
