kewl, cheers mate, read some good reviews on them, it is between the G5 and Alienware, but read some quite poor reviews on the alienware one compared to the G5.

We have the Powermac G5, it's great. But don't expect a lot of PC games to be made with Mac versions if you want to play games.

I have a new G5 here at work. got it to do the advertising on etc. It's awesome and connected straight to my windows network and shares. I'm a converted Mac fan thanks to it! Looks so good too!

I would be using it to do alot of graphic design work. Animation and that sort of thing, not a massive gamer myself so wont be using it for games.
The only concern I have is a restriction on the use of software.
Cheers

I bought the 20" version of the G5 with an additional 256mb RAM and adobe illustrator and photshop. Think it came to about 2k!

That contradictory statement makes your opinion pretty much useless doesn't it..

Forget the dual processor ones but look at the prices and specs for say the single 2.5 ghz ones...Please don't tell me a system could not be built better for under £1000 never mind paying £1300 +.
