Hey, just got my Dual G5 and have been mostly setting it up and transferring over from the old machine. It seems pretty fast at some thing, especially copying between drives and basic blur / sharpen functions in Photoshop are asoundingly fast. Haven't played with it enough to write a review yet though.

However - I noticed that whenever the machine is working hard, using a lot of the CPU, there is this little electronic beep sound from within the machine. Sometimes it is very frequent. At first I thought it was kind of cute and very Sci-fi. Then I started thinking then it might get really annoying if it does it every time I am pushing the CPU to it's limit.

Wondering if anyone else knows what I am talking about.
