We have in stock a PowerMac G4 Mirrored Door G4 with:

Single 1.25gHz G4 processor
1.5 gigabytes of DDR ram
2 x 80 gig ATA Hard Drives installed and mirrored with a clean install of Mac OS X 10.4
CDrw Optical Drive installed
The mac has: USB, firewire, ethernet.
The video card on board supports dual monitor display via it's single Dual head DVI out graphics card (believed to be an nVidia FX5200)
A USB keyboard and 2 button USB mouse (3rd party)

The mac's in good condition, with a few marks to the external case. The pram battery has no charge, but this can easily be rectified by getting date and time automatically from Apple or by replacing the 1/2 AA battery. We've cleaned it as best we can inside and out. It's been pre-shrink wrapped and is ready to go. This is the last of the G4's ever produced by Apple and was re-released by them due to popular demand.

This mac does not have the Firewire 800 port and is therefore believed to boot native into OS 9 as well.

More Details (The original Apple Shipped Configuration):

The Apple Power Macintosh G4/1.25 (Mirrored Drive Doors 2003) features a 1.25 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit, 256k "on chip" level 2 cache, and 2 MB of DDR SRAM level 3 backside cache. It shipped configured with 256 MB of RAM, an 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, a 12X DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive, and a 4X AGP ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. AirPort (802.11b) was available by custom configuration.

The Power Macintosh G4/1.25 (MDD 2003) is a re-released version of the Power Macintosh G4/1.25 DP (MDD) (M8573LL/A) -- due to demand from users who still needed to boot MacOS 9 -- but configured, by default, with a single processor, less RAM, a smaller hard drive, and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive instead of a DVD-R/CD-RW "SuperDrive".

Please note that this model also could be custom configured with dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4) processors.
