Powermac or Xserve?

[applegeek13]

Will an Xserve G4 work as a normal desktop computer? My other option is a similarly spec-ed Powermac G4. I will just use it for normal day to day use, like internet and some light photoshop. They are the same price, so cost is a non issue.

Buy the PowerMac. Xserves are noisey.

Not all Xserves have video cards (ie. you can't use a monitor). They are designed to be workhorses that are accessed and controlled remotely.

And, as Umbongo mentioned, they are noisy as heck.
