G5 now or later?

[JLaFrance]

I need a new machine, cost really isnt an issue since i started saving the day G5's came out :D , I'm going to be doing heavy photoshop, movies and I love Halo ;) I already have a 23'' display. Should I buy a duel 2 GHz G5 now or wait till after the event in June? I can afford to wait till then but I dont know if i want one of the new ones (which will hopefully be out) because I dont want to be stuck with any problems not ironed out until the 2nd gen. Also, I'd like a big (150 GB+) external HD (FW800) any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Reading almost any other topic will guide you in this decision. If you can wait, you should. New G5s are "almost" a certainty around time frame of this event - now the question seems to be "how fast?". If you can wait, do so. :)

I've been back and forth with this same question since DECEMBER! I should've made my purchase then, and enjoyed it for almost six months now.

But now we're way too close to the second coming and it's just too risky. I got a good deal on one just a few days ago, but held off due to WWDC.

It's only one month away. Wait it out and you'll have more options. Even it you get a current gen G5, you'll save hundreds.

It's not that much longer to wait.
