I sold my dual G4 867 a few months back and finally replaced it with an iMac 20". Awesome piece of gear this, no dead/stuck/lit pixels and no noisy fan, so I finally got lucky. Added 512 of RAM and a AE card. Very, very happy with this setup.
Anyhow, here's a shot of my workstation as it is now (and yes, I'm 28 and still play with Transformers lol):

There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Is that a Kensington SlimType keyboard? How do you like it? Does it have extra USB ports to plug in mice and other peripherals? Nice setup BTW.

I have a slimtype keyboard that I got for christmas. i don't like it very much. The small foorprint is very nice, and the keys are pretty nice to type on, but I made a lot of typing errors on it, and I was really irritated by the spacebar because it takes a lil more effort to push it down far enough so that it puts a space in whatever you are typing. Another annoying thing is that it doesn't have USB ports on it, I had to get USB Hub just to ensure I could use the rest of my USB devices at the same time.

I think that is THE perfect area for an iMac. Retro-meets-modern style.

Just rearranged my room today, surely it's not the best.. but I'm content. Although, a 30" LCD is becoming my obsession.

I picked it up at the local salvation army. Its actually wider than it looks in the picture and makes for a very comfortable chair.

Should I buy a 17" or 20" iMac?
Money/price difference is not a big concern in the sense that I can afford something if it is worth getting it.
Is the 20" worth the extra cost?

If money is no concern, yes! When it comes to screens, bigger is almost always better. You can always use more display area. And, especially with the iMac, it makes a lot of sense because you can't swap the display later without swapping the entire Mac as well. The 20" screen is gorgeous and the iMac G5 looks much nicer with the 20" screen proportions (white lip looks less bulky) than the 17".
OTOH iMac update rumors (speed bump to 2.0 GHz seems to be the consensus) are floating around. If you don't need it right now, you could wait. If you need it, go for it.

If I decide to buy it, I will buy it in September.
I'll see what revision they have then. My 867Mhz PB 12" is starting to really feel old now and won't be supported in Tiger completely (CoreImage and CoreVideo)

If you have the wherewithal to buy a 20" iMac, by all means go for it. I just got a Dell 2005FPW (same basic panel as the iMac) and I'm surprised at how much information I can squeeze on to a 1680x1050 screen at once without having to resort to Exposé: two IM contact lists, two or three IM chats, a mini-mode iTunes window, and a fairly large Safari window.
The only real reason to get a 17" iMac is money. If you simply don't run many apps when on the computer, or would rather roll the money into accessories and upgrades, why spend $1899 when $1299 or $1499 will do the trick?
