The site shows $358. Am I missing something, or was there a typo in the title?

Anyway, if you don't mind an older Mac, are looking to learn Mac OS X on the cheap, or give the kids a relatively safe machine to play with, $358 for this is pretty good. ($458 is not; you can get the Core 2 Duo version for $464 at MacResource.)

Do keep in mind that Snow Leopard (10.6) was the last version of OS X that'll officially run on this. This won't be an issue right away, but Apple is notorious for forced marches, so don't be surprised when you start seeing most software requiring Lion (10.7) in the near future, just as they killed previous versions.

These can be upgraded to their maximum 2GB RAM for cheap ($35.99 at Other World Computing), and I'd recommend anyone getting one do so. Also, the CPU on this machine is socketed, though upgrading this is not for the faint of heart. It WILL let you run Lion, but if that's your plan, it'd be cheaper and easier to just get a Core 2 Duo model.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
