I plan on using dual 20-inch cinema displays with it. Presently I'll be using a 21.5 inch Samsung monitor via DVI. I would tell you model number and etc, but I'm not at home at the moment.
Got a tip for us?

Fair enough and nice I'm expecting mine on Friday. I just love the case. It's not a Mac Pro but ahh well. It'll serve my purposes.

I know right! It really is a beautiful machine. I'm sure mine will serve my basic computing needs (iWork, iLife, light gaming within reason of the old hardware).
Is your G5 a DP or SP?
I'm getting the 2.0Ghz Dual Core. The seller's shipping it in a Mac Pro box as he bought a Mac Pro and sold off his old G5 on eBay. So it'll kinda feel as though I'm getting a Mac Pro :L
Cheers
What about the reliability though, graphite G4s seem to just run and run whereas G5 logic boards seem to be very problematic? I would replace our G4/466 at home with a dualie G5 as they are so cheap now for the performance that they offer but have been looking at first-generation Mac Pros instead as G5 reliability concerns me, Pros are a bit pricey though even for the 2006 ones...
