Condition & Notes
This unit is in mint condition, and is complete with all the original packaging, keyboard, mouse, power cable, modem cable, software CDs, documentation, and Apple Pro Speakers.
It was purchased from the original owner, and the original ship date listed on the box is 06/15/2004 - about two months before the iMac G5 was introduced.
I opened/disassembled it when I acquired it to apply new thermal paste and thoroughly clean the dusty interior.
It is in fully working order and is currently running Mac OS X 10.5.
Model Identifier
This particular machine is the 1.25 GHz model from late 2003, making it the last and fastest 17” iMac G4 that Apple produced.
Packaging
Apple even included some step-by-step instructions detailing how to remove the iMac from the box, since it is a bit tricky.

The Apple Pro Speakers (with white surrounds) were bundled with higher-end iMac G4 models like this one.
