If you are looking for a case that is not damaged in any way. I have one. It's pretty bare. looking for a $100.00, maybe less.

So, to elaborate further on the system in question, I got it on an auction site as "parts or repair" --the case was listed as in good shape. When I got it yesterday through the USPS, it looked like it had been dropped, the seller didn't package it very well, and so the feet on one side of the case were broken at the rivets...I was a little skeptical of it working... My 13 and 11 year old boys were rubbing their hands together to see if it would work(mouths watering, so to speak). I let them at it, at they had it up and running with a firewire drive. My older son couldn't tell for sure if the superdrive was working or not, so he put an old dvd drive in, which worked fine. I got a new 1Tb hard drive in this afternoon before I left for work, so I let it install 10.4, and the boys were going to fiddle around with it for me. It has a radeon 9600 pro card, it was the first edition(?) 1.8 g5 with the pci-x slots, I just got a couple of 512 sticks of ram, in case it didn't work, and an adc display. So I guess for now, it's up and running. Other than the case being beaten(!) up (hopefully nothing else is fractured) it seems to be running ok. Not bad for 49 bucks+shipping... Although in retrospect, I guess I should have asked the seller to be generous on the packaging. I would like to convert some mini-dv movies to dvd, anyone have any preferences for software other than ProTools? Any suggestions for other software for a cheapskate? Thanks all.
