A strong deal on what is still a good machine. The Intel Macs are best, but the late model G5's should be great for lots of tasks, and the display on those 20" models is really nice. If it's a clean used example with no problems, then definitely worth the money.

Good deal, just watch for swollen capacitors in those G5 Models... if you don't know search "swollen capacitors G5 iMac" on google.

Guys, I actually bought it and it was the last version of 1.8 G5. Even though would prefer the intel based but for a start this won't be to bad at all for kids to get familiar with mac system. Thanks anyway for the inputs and have a nice evening!.
