This is strongest PPC that can run OS 9 Classic (emulation only).
(OS 9 Classic is not included, but you can, of course, install it yourself.)
This was the last of Apple's G5s before they switched from PowerPC to Intel chips in 2005
So powerful, that it had to be liquid-cooled!
No monitor included (the monitor shown in the photos is for display purposes only)
It has a genuine Nvidia 7800 GT 256mb graphics card in it and 4GB of ram (expandable to 16gb).
The case has a few scratches and is a little beat up as shown in the photos.
It has sorbet leopard on a 250gb hard drive.
"
Sorbet Leopard" is the nickname of
Mac OS X 10.5.9, an unofficial build of
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) that was first released on October 31,
2021 to provide continued support solely for
PowerPC Macs. It combines elements of
Mac OS X 10.5.8 and the PowerPC
beta of
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), while removing unneeded
Intel binaries to streamline the system for improved PowerPC performance.
It has cinebench, geekbench, interwebppc leopard WebKit on it for browsing installed. Along with istat cpu and temp monitoring software installed.
Will ship in an original powermac g5 box with the power cord. (No keyboard or mouse, however, are included, so you will need to provide those yourself.)

intended mainly for legacy programs and nostalgia purposes. ;-)
