Sorry to bother y'all, but I've just bought a second-hand 17" imac g5 for £560 . it's 1.8ghz / 160gb /512MBram (with a gig stick on it's way).
I did it on a whim and need to convince myself I have done the right thing - I'm currently using a G4 550mhz pismo, so I'm sure I'll get a mind blowing speed increase. and hoping it will keep me happy for a good few years to come.
Anyone had experience with the g5 imac with regards to design (mainly print, web and small video clips for VJing)?
is it obvious I'm procrastinating at work today?

At work I use a 20in iMac G5 and I love it.

I've just been reading up on them and finding horror stories about overheating and noisy fans! but I guess it's the luck of the draw most of the time...

Noisy fans is luck of the draw. G5 tower at work = silent. So I buy one for home and it sounds like its flying!

I see... I did wonder, as the friends I have with towers are always telling me different stories - I assumed it depended on their mac-fanboy status!

we have a couple at work - the 17" has had to be repaired twice in the first 6 months we had it. the 20" has had no problems.
