Now that Virginia Tech has switched to Xserve, they’re selling off the 1,100 G5s which had formerly been their supercomputer. These 2GB dual-processor Power Macs, with 1GB of RAM and 160GB of hard drive space, are going for $2,799 over at MacMall.com<\/a>. That’s $200 off Apple’s base price, not counting an additional $250 savings on the RAM.
