Congratulations!

I have a 20" iMac G5, picked up at the Regent Street Store and then carried/dragged to a nearby car park (damn, the machines heavy). The only additional item I added was a 1GB Ram stick, purchased from Crucial, which I installed myself, following the userguide instructions.

It's a very, very nice machine, both in performance, quietness and sheer beauty.

Finally, I would also suggest going for an Apple BT keyboard and Mouse combo for the ultimate in minimalist computing.

cheers

Well, I just placed my order! I'm posting this update, then I'll go scream, jump, cry, fly. I wanted a Mac since I was 12 (I'm 32 now), so you can imagine how I feel right now.

I'm getting a mac! I'm getting a mac!

I think that you have every reason to be excited. The iMac G5 is an awesome setup. The extra RAM was very smart. I hope that you purchased AppleCare also. Feeling excited for you also. ;)

Well he's got up to the end of the first year before deciding whether to purchase AppleCare or not so I wouldn't say that particular item was critical at this stage.
