I think the G4 iMac and 828 will be a great way to go, as long as you do not forsee the need for some type of expansion. That is the true drawback to the iMac, when it comes to changing cards and such, it becomes a real pain, or impossibility... I went with an iMac because of the price, and then added everything else externally. It has been a realy great ride so far, but I'm looking to buy the new G5 power mac for expanability (ie changing of burner, addition of harddrive space, capabilities of utilizing true 5 point surround sound), but that is still a long time off.
