Apple G5s

Anyone tell me where to get a cheap G5 dual. Don't mind a 1.8 dual.
I would rather put money to a PHer if I can.

Anyone???

eBay. Some good deals around at the moment.

Apple's own Apple Store usually does some deals via its 'Refurb Store' from 10am on Wednesday.

Other than that you may wish to call a few of the larger Mac retailers (MacWarehouse etc) to see if they have any 'old' stock.

Beware of eBay though, sadly Apple's goods appear to attract more than their fair share of scamsters.

Good luck, and good choice!

I am well aware of the Ebay scammers. As with everthing, sometimes it's who you know. I simply wondered if any PHer had fingers in apple pies, as it were.
Thanks anyway

Haven't got a finger in any Apple pie (see what I did there?), but I found www.2ndchancepc.co.uk very helpful and professional

Contrary to the popular opinion, there are plenty of legitimate businesses who trade on Ebay. Some great deals to be had from IT clearance companies.

I picked up a cheap refurbed eMac from Cancom last year. Service was good & I saved myself a few hundred quid over a brand new one.

The Apple refurb store is open every wednesday from 10. You occasionally get a bargain in there.

I am finding, but there are quite a few " Email my yahoo address or AOL address for the deal I dont respond otherwise " type listings.

I've got a spare barge pole to not touch things like that, if you'd like to borrow it.
The decent traders are fairly easy to spot, usually with more than 4000 feedback.

Dual 1.8 G5s available 30% off (so the cheaper of the 2 models is £700).
