Mac OS X IT-Enquirer has a three-part special on Mac OS X 10.4: Part 1, 2 and 3. Update: I declare the comments section on this news item to be a disaster zone. It can't be saved. Just stay away.

"All the same specs as my 2 year old, 2.4 GHz Dell I got for less than that."

A G5 1,8Ghz is more like a 3Ghz P4, it can also run 64 bit software..

Your PC has Firewire 800? Gigabit Ethernet? Serial ATA? Digital 5.1 audio? etc etc.. These things cost money, guy..

Anyway, i have to admit that the PowerMac 1,8Ghz is today a little overpriced (depends on what you compare to it), Apple simplily doesn't want to compete with their iMac G5 17".

How much noise does your Dell PC? How much CPU resources takes antivirus & spyware software on your machine?

Also, The ATI Radeon 9600 is a XT version, not the 2 years old Pro version.. :/ wich is slower..

I'm sure you will see new PowerMacs in January..
The cycle between revisions is bigger in the Mac World than in the PC World. Usually 6 months vs 3 months..
This is one of the reasons of why you can get more of it when you sell it in eBay ;)
Don't buy in the end of a cycle..
