Apple Refurbished Mac mini PowerPC G4 – Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 + Apps - Macintosh - With replacement box

“Meet the grandfather of today’s Mac Studio — a compact, classic 2004/2005 Mac mini that laid the foundation for Apple’s modern desktop lineup.” Up for auction is a well-maintained Apple Mac mini [model A1103], featuring:

– PowerPC G4 – 1.42 GHz processor;
– 500 Mb RAM
– 80GB hard drive
– Original 110W Mac mini power adapter [A1188]

// Installed Software:
– Adobe Creative Suite CS2 (for graphic design): including Photoshop, InDesign & Illustrator;
– Microsoft Office for Mac (for office usage);
– Apple bundled software (for office & creative usage);

// Condition
The Mac mini is in very good working condition. Minor signs of use may be present due to age, but this unit has been carefully preserved and is ready for use or display.

// Collector’s Note
As with all vintage Mac minis, this unit shows normal signs of use consistent with its age. In particular, the plastic casing may exhibit slight yellowing, which is typical for this model and should be expected. The included photographs may present the display slightly more favorably than in person, so potential buyers should consider these natural age-related characteristics when placing a bid.

// Potential Uses & Retro Compatibility
Thanks to its compact size and capable Intel Core Duo processor, this 2004/2005 Mac mini is an excellent choice for retro Mac enthusiasts who want to explore vintage software and operating systems without taking up much desk space. It natively runs Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. This makes it ideal for testing classic applications, running vintage games, or maintaining a retro Mac environment in a small footprint.

This 2004/2005 Mac mini can still serve a variety of purposes. It is ideal as a retro Mac collector’s piece, a secondary machine for macOS 10.4 compatible software, or a dedicated media server, music station, or lightweight computing device. Its compact size and original functionality make it a versatile option for enthusiasts who want to explore vintage Mac software or maintain a classic Apple setup.

// Be aware
Please note that the aluminum display, keyboard, and mouse shown in the photos are for demonstration purposes only, to illustrate proper operation and the age-related look of the setup; they are not included in this auction. Only the Mac mini (and power adapter) are auctioned.

// Full Setup (display)
For collectors interested in a fully time-correct setup, the accompanying aluminum Apple Display shown in the photos will be offered in a separate auction this week, allowing you to recreate the complete vintage setup.

> Optional / Required Accessories:
– Requires a compatible display (e.g. Apple Aluminum Cinema Display, A1081)
– USB keyboard and mouse required for operation
Accessories may be available separately upon request.
