I've used one that's how i know they suck
I'm a recording artist. I've owned Apples in the past but they aren't powerful enough for rendering anymore. And G5's run much hotter than Athlon64's - if you knew anything you'd know it takes eight fans to cool a G5 tower. My case has one fan and it's very cool and whisper quiet even under a rendering load or real-time HD recording (only a dual-G5 can even hang and yet they are still slower than many old-school 32-bit dual Athlons, which are cheap as hell and ultra-stable) The back of the G5 I-Mac gets hot under load and it reflects a bad form-over-function design which has driven me and many others I know away from Apple. Also only one internal drive and low ram makes $1800 seem ridiculous for a professional machine - which the I-mac most certainly is not although you pay a professional machine price for it. I don't think underpowered Mini-cuties will do much more for Apple than the original I-Mac did. It was successful - but not enough to stop falling marketshare. AND Dell's have a higher quality rating than Mac's over the past five years - do some reading... I build my own but I'd never put some of the parts Apple forces down Mac users throats in one of my mission-critical systems. We won't switch to something slower just cuz it's cute. peace
