I has it:

It's probably going to cost at least as much again to ship it from there to here but it means the project is well and truly under way 😀

Good deal!

I would have thought they would have listed shipping costs. At least there's a place for it on the US site.

There's a space for it on ebay.au as well. Some people use it, some don't. Some list shipping costs in the body of the auction, some don't. I usually ask for a total whenever I buy something, if only to buy me a little time to get the funds together 😛

51 AUD, how much is that in real money? 😛

You mean Euros? 😛

Hi LSD - well done on the Gigabit/DA !

I snagged a G4 350 and G4 400 from him for AU$21 each !!!

Also got two G3 400 Imacs that I should be able to combine into one working machine for AU$31 total.

His brief listings put people off I think.

Regards,

Macdownunder

Hey good score. I've got one too I'm building up as soon as my new CPU arrives from the US. Let's compare notes.

I think you'll have an easier time with yours than I'll have with mine. You have a genuine DA CPU module which will just be a drop-in replacement whereas I have a QS one which requires splicing in 12V (and quite possibly modification of the HS).

My 1GHz ti will still spank the lot of ya!

Seriously though I would love to have a quicksilver. I just don't like the look of MDD's. I wonder I could transplant the guts of an MDD into a QS case.

Too broke to actually buy anything. If I wasn't facing foreclosure ATM though...

and that is supposed to be real money ?

I got the shipping quote this morning: AUD$67. It's costing me AUD$16 more to ship it over than I paid for it 😛

You should get shipping quotes before you buy stuff. It's usually shipping that kills an otherwise sweet deal.

I knew it was going to cost an arm and a leg to get it over here to begin with. However, even at AUD$118 total, that's still cheaper than trying to buy it locally.

$au = ~ $0.80 us

Posted by: LSD on 2007-09-24 00:40:56
w00t!

Got an email from the seller this morning telling me that it's been posted. With any luck it'll be here by the end of the week! 😀

yea my friend somehow got a DA G4 466mhz for $70, $50 + $30 shipping off of ebay. and normaly they sell all day long for over $100. prolly getting lower in price cause they are not going to be supported in leopard.

Posted by: Temetka on 2007-09-24 03:51:58
Still they make a great Tiger box though...
