Does it matter where they were bought from? They were all built by the same company.

And really..there AREN'T a lot of posts about G5 problems. They are only visible because of the newness of the platform.

Additionally, there "seems" to be a lot of G5 issue posts from people with less than 5 posts. Call me paraonid, but sometimes the posts smell like Astroturfing.

YMMV.

I got my dud directly from store.apple.com

still, I have to agree with the others that there aren't a LOT of issues... just those of us that do have issues make a lot of noise in places like this trying to get them fixed.

i have to agree a little this does seem to be quite a few issues within the first posts. yet i've had not one problem with my new g5, and i think these are a lot more rare issues.

Keep in mind people that the Power Mac forum, more or less, exists for two reasons: To discuss future hardware or to seek help trouble shooting. You're going to have a lot of threads like that regardless.
