Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Finest PC you can buy
Read my other review about the G5 for the software advantages of the Mac. And my MacBook review about running Windows on your Mac. Let's talk about the hardware:

First off I don't own one of these machines, but I work with them extensively at work (I'm a PC/Mac Technician). This model in particular. I've probably seen at least 300 of these machines, and the failure rate is about 1 in 300 thus far. So, build quality is great.

Its 2 USB and one Firewire 400 port on the front ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Five stars ain't enough
Most of the other reviews have covered this ground already but:

- Have had the machine since 11/7/07 and I'm not sure it has ever crashed.

-Four internal drives and it is almost silent

-Windows XP roars on this machine, boot camp or virtual

It runs quiet and the only problems I have are due to the software.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wicked Fast
I purchased the item from Amazon b/c i'm a Prime member, quick shipping. I upgraded the standard build to have an additional TB of hd space (www.macsales.com) and added 8gb of ram. the thing is wicked fast. The sound of the machine is also very low, which is great. I have parallels running my windows vm's (xp and vista) and am now testing out fusion. I added a 2nd video card (same as the one it came with) and now have 3 monitors (fusion beta 2.0 support multi monitor) but i'm not super happy with ... Read More
