Quick thought and question for everyone:
I know the G5 tower is superior since it is a dual processor, however, a tower alone is expensive. Plus the fact that the monitor is separate (and starting at $800) makes it even more pricy.
I have seen refurbished G5 towers on ebay for $1300 - $1500, is it worth shelling out the extra scratch for the tower and the monitor vs. a brand new iMac w/ lots 'o' RAM for appoximately the same price?
If the tower is far superior, I will bite the bullet and save a little more money, if not I would love to get an iMac G5 ASAP so I can start playing around.
