1. Too expensive
2. Memory cost as much as the computer.
3. Apple pushed back the shipping dates.
4. Twice as much dust will accumulate inside casing in real world tests.
5. No benchmarks after announcement.

These are only my observations. Hopefully apple will get a clue, and price down.

Yes, dust was certainly a factor in my decision to not buy a PowerMac G5.

Oh wait. I did buy one.

And that about sums it up. You pretty much just have no clue what you're talking about. Good night, then.

I can't believe I spent time reading your post. I feel like someone stole thirty seconds of my life away, and I'll never have it back.

I've never owned a Powermac before and I bought one, they have a lot of great features and seem to be quite compelling. I think they will sell just fine.

Who knows.
