i have 1000 to spend

mac mini wiht 1 gig of rame and superdrive the 1.42ghz model
or
a second hand powermac g5
like theres some deals on there for under 1000 i saw on ebay. in the completed items too
like this ones at 600 with 10 hours left
http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-PowerMac-G...cmdZ ViewItem

im going to be doing small video editing with final cut pro and using fireworks/dreamweaver/soundtrack pro. i think the powermac would be better? i could upgrade it more and stuff.
 
I would buy the PowerMac G5 because you can alway upgrade it down the road and it will be faster then the MacMini...also the ebay link doesn't work.
 
i was looking threw teh apple store and i found the powermac g5 wtih 256mb ram 80gig hd 1.8ghz tiger,ilife plus i added 512mb ram and airport extreme card and it came to $1,278.00 thats a good deal right? how long wil the powermac be on teh refurb line?
 
but for a couple bucks more i can get a imac g5 with a keyboard and bluetooth and airport and a better video card

well if you don't need the extram ram slots and the ability of the upgrades of the PowerMac then I would just get the iMac..
