2008 iMac 3.06Ghz Model with 8800GS spotted for only £1186 inc VAT tax. !! WOW !!
Fancy a top end iMac 3.06Ghz 2008 model with the 8800GS GPU in it ?
The new equivalent 2009 model in the UK with a 130 graphics card is a whopping £1799....
The previous model above was £1350 from most resellers inclusive of VAT tax. The new Model is a whopping £450 more :eek: :eek:
So imagine my surprise when I logged onto macwarehouse.co.uk this evening and found the 2008 3.06Ghz model for only £1186 inclusive of VAT tax !
You can add the memory to take it to an equivalent 4GB memory for only £32+vat as well.

They had 132 in stock when I placed my order. I also ordered a 4GB memory kit to go with it as well taking the total price of my order to :
1 x APIMIN16 @ £1,032.04 each = £1,032.04
CTO Apple iMac 24" Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz/2GB/500GB/ SuperDrive/nvidia8800
1 x CRUC275 @ £32.40 each = £32.40
CRUCIAL 4GB 800MHz DDR2 (PC2-6400) - 2x2GB SO-DIMM
Sub-total: £1,064.44
Shipping: £9.95
Total: £1,074.39
Total inc. VAT: £1,235.54
Expected Shipping Date is 09/03/2009 (next day delivery)
So Ive just saved myself a huge £565 by buying this computer rather than the £1800 2009 model. The only real difference now Ive upped the memory is the 130 rather than the 8800GS... plus extra HD space.... and is that really worth £565 !!!
Plenty left in stock by the look of it too. Clearance bargain !! This model will smoke any 2009 model other than the top end iMac, and for a fraction of the price.
