Hey everyone,
Turns out i need a powerful mac as my PowerBook whilst steller still struggles occasionally. Especially when dealing with HD.
Sooo i found a refurb Dual core PowerMac G5 for about £980 as opposed to the original £1399 and i know it'll come with extra RAM as most refurb Desktops do. I also found an iMac G5 2.1 GHz also a refurb for £870 which i'm considering. The iMac would be a better as i won't have to spring for a display with it like i would the PowerMac.
However i'm tempted to get the PM as it is expandable and they say two heads are better than one. Also the PowerMac will mostly likely have a better resale value than the iMac
What do you guys think?. Also for owners of these individual systems, whats your overall review of them and which is significantly noisier?
I'll be using either of the machines for basic computing such as web surfing, music, photos, mail etc as well as casual photoshopping, casual garageband and of course HD content (recording and viewing)
PS- Intel machines are out of the question. I tried intelitoshes and whilst they are capable machines they aren't for me....yet.
