G5 or Mini please help

[canucksfan88]

so then why did u even bother posting up the question?
if you knew you loved the looks and style of the G5, why waste our time? was it to show off that in the end you got a "quad core G5"

i do not understand why someone would invest in a technology which is being phased out.

perhaps i will reference you and your decision in an essay of mine about the commodity and aesthetics over functionality.

For a reason I, to this day, cannot figure out, people always seem to underestimate the power of a G5, and overestimate the requirements for apps. G5's work well as mid-end machines these days, and they have way more power then the average computer user needs.

THANK YOU, thats what the guy who sold it to me and i were talking about, i think nowadays to most people if its not intel its unusable

be my guest, i dident get a quad. I got a dual and i dont think geting a g5 is anything to brag about, i posted this because at the time i had no idea what to do and i needed to know if most of the G5's had failure rates and such
