Can Emac Do The Biz, Or Must It Be G5? Options

[Ganga]

Hi

Halion is making my G4/400 squeek, and I clearly need to upgrade BUT I am wondering whether I really have to go to the extent of G5? My I/O needs are simple, only requiring stereo in and outs, decent CPU to run Halion without touching cloth evry time, and space inside for a couple of HD's. Is anyone perhaps using the higher rated Emac???
