The only reason I would go for a G5 is because it is the latest. I'm not sure if it is all that better than a G4, but anything is going to be better than the G3 I'm using now. I guess it all comes down to cost. If something cheeper will work fine for an accepable period of time, then go for cheeper. I go for something that is going to last the longest. There are alot of variables in the mix. If at sometime in the near future you're going to be able to get a G5 at a reasonable price, you might want to question the purchace of an iMac G4. If you're going to be stuck with your choice for a long period of time and funds might not be available in the future, go for the biggest bang... Also, you are going to be using a different platform, so it might be a wise choice to go for the iMac, as you may find it does not suit your needs (doubtful) vs. a PC. At any rate, the 828 is universal, and extreemly usefull.
