You must be kidding, $900 for a computer thats 4-5 years obsolete, even 
before the original iMac!
Even with the junk you are throwing in it isnt worth $500!
Having all the internal hard drives makes it sound junky and with the 
"lot of stuff" you mentioned most wasn't worth mentioning!
I would have thought $600 was pushing it, but $900?

    First, consider he is a Mac user.. they are used to paying far too much
for proprietary parts.

But second, Steve, you could so SO much more productive policing if you
would not lace your comments with heavy handed wording. Try and simply state
the facts, like a robot or something. I like what you do here, but you
should really not add in the "tone".

As we have observed numerous time, Steve lacks professionalism on his posts.
But that is what is known as trolling. To entice reader responses by posting
absurd and
disturbing comments that may or may not be useful to the community.
