Buy a PowerMac G5


 

How to buy a PowerMac G5 by kyrie

"My new mac is not a G5, but a new silver iMac, plus I got a new ipod Touch with the promo package. I love them both."

How I did it: I had a conversation with a friend who convinced me I should buy it on a low interest loan. I saved over half of what I needed and the payments for the rest aren't too high. With the added iPod and the glee factor involved with that, it was a little financial leap that turned out to be more comfortable than I thought it would be.

I got into a crunch situation with the impending death of my old mac, so it was a "jump off the diving board or lose all your old files" situation. I like to be as debt free as possible, but sometimes you need to make use of financial options that mean you can fit a purchase into a certain timeline.

Yes, I'm a little deeper in debt, but I deserve a nice computer that works. I should be able to pay it off this year, anyway. 

Lessons & tips: Sometimes you can afford more than you think you can.

    I didn’t really achieve this goal all by myself. It was decided that to get into the industry that I wanna work in I need the best equipment and the best tools to be able to do the best job that I can. I do now have a power mac G5 with a 23 inch monitor… and it’s awesome. Get want you want and pay for it for the rest of your life.

    I bought mine July 2005; if you do it now, you’re getting something even better.

    Make sure you buy an Apple Cinema Display, instead of some cheap Dell rubbish. It may be pricey, but you’ll be glad you did when its all said and done!

    Visit forums.macrumors.com if you have any questions; it’s a great community.
