I wouldn't buy it at any price without $100 of the lowest refurb price.
Now -- if it were a CLASSIC model, like my G4, 1.42GHz, with Combo Drive, 1GB of RAM, 32MB video card and 4200 RPM 80GB drive (no BT/AP), then clearly, this model would have a premium attached.
Add to that the Dual Ethernet Airport injury (Apple to Apple) which when wired directly, appears to have taken out the ethernet permanently, then you have the perfect example of what is a FireWire 400mbit bandwidth ethernet solution - for which at $500 is not only a BARGAIN, but I'd throw in the Indigo iMac which feeds it the ethernet (since the cable has to plug into the iMac from modem).
For $575, you get the Dual Ethernet Airport Base Station too!
You want to have the FIRST in a series, THIS is where you get it, baby!!! RIGHT HERE!
