I have a white 17" imac, 1.83 ghz intel core duo, 1.5GB ram, 160 GB.

full specs...
Apple iMac "Core Duo" 1.83 17-Inch Specs (Early 2006 - MA199LL) @ EveryMac.com (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_cd_1.83_17.html)

it's the original specs with the addition of 1gb of ram.

no original keyboard or mouse, but if wanted, I'd sell my logitech S530 wireless keyboard and mouse.

am i asking too much for $700+? what's the proper range?

I just paid $550 but it came with only 0.5 Gb ram (standard) and it came with the keyboard and mouse. The seller was in need of getting it gone quick as it was taking up space. Ram is cheep for this $48 gets you 2Gb for third party ram.

^ thanks, that's give me a good idea, though I was thinking of already including my wireless keyboard and mouse as I've been using the new aluminum keyboard for over a year now and i'm liking it, just gotta get a new wireless mouse, if anything.
