Decent price, even well-used. They seem to be going for over $1,000 elsewhere.
...
Some big company probably leased them and the leasing company is dumping them.
If you could figure out which leasing company is ditching a pile of off-lease Macs this month you might be able to save some $$ by dealing directly with them.

I came here to post this deal but got beat to it... twice. 
Note that this one comes with 4GB RAM which makes it an even better deal.
If I didn't have that machine already, I would be all over it.
But mine has the craptastic stock Nvidia 7300GT. Have there been any reliability problems with that ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?
P.S.: Limit 5 per customer. :biggrin:
Oh yeah, if you have a certain serial number, get it replaced before January 31

BTW, I got my X1900 traded in under the recall and they gave me a much quieter Nvida card.

The RAM is what really kills it for me. You can build a faster hackintosh with a better video card for the same price, especially since 8 GB of DDR3 is under $80 some places. If you want more RAM, you are buying it for a 4-1/2 year old computer.

I can't argue with a Hac being cheaper and faster but this is a very good price for an authentic Apple product. You get a lot of machine for $900.
