Ok, so in this thread or another one I said I sold my G5 and bought a Mac Mini... I was NOT impressed with the Mini. People said it would run circles around the G5, Somethings it did somethings it didn't. And snow leopard, yawn.... just an update.... So I recently bought off of ebay a PMG5...

I found this link for your arm problem.. hope it helps... http://macosx.com/tech-support/mac/loose-monitor-arm/334015.html

I do like the all in one's, I really never liked the original imac... I had one but never really like the design... the imac g5 bla..... emac too bulky...... the imac g4... AHHHHH!!!!! nice...

Thanks... I just installed a 500GB Pata Western digital with 16MB cache 7200RPM for 76.00 at best buy.. cheaper than the internet... I noticed the difference right away!!! the old seagate was 5400 but slow... Even web pages come up faster... I'm happy.... VERY Happy!!!! this is a very...

Thanks... I've always loved this design, I've been search ebay but they are too much and the condition of some of them is horrible.. At least on CL I can haggle, ebay you cannot. This isn't the fastest mac but I have a Mac Mini 2009, see my sig... I just like the iMac...

Last night from Craigslist, the LCD is bright and the arm is tight. The guy told me that this was hardly used. I got it for 130.00 with speakers, mouse and keyboard.

This powerbook MUST of been used as a desktop replacement... The G4 seems to be a long life CPU... I remember getting a PM G4 400mhz in 99... I don't remember if the G3 has a long useful life like the G4... But the powerbook handles everything I throw at it...

So I can honestly say the Mac Mini IS faster than the G5, it runs m games faster and smoother, Adobe runs alot faster... I don't use the internal hdd I use the FW800 connected to the mini with my 1TB hdd.

The 17" is portable... I bring it places, I had a 15" and same thing it portable. The 12" are nice but a bit too small for me. now there was a HP with, I believe a 21 inch screen that was a monster.. that's not portable at all...

My games work well under the mac mini, as I sold the G5 on ebay for 750.00 + 35.00 shipping. Given the fact that the G5 was a good computer it was also huge and no-a-days I'd like the smallest computer. The mini is 2lbs the G5 48lbs. 480 watts for the G5; 100 watts for the mini... I also...

It's the early 2005 model... But I was really shocked that it doesn't have any dents or scratches on it... I saw the pictures on ebay but you cannot tell or I really do not go by the seller either... But to my surprise! Also the battery say's 40 cycles only so the battery is either fairly new...

Aluminum 17" 1.67 on ebay for 460.00. Not one scratch or any dents, which is a miracle b/c everyone i've seen looks like it was through the war...

Well on ebay I sold my G5 for 750.00+35.00 shipping.

For: Defor: You can say what you want that is your opinion and that's fine. But my point it that I don't have 3-5K to keep up with the LAGS (Latest and greatest Syndrome) I have more important things in my life like my 3 yr old daughter than to worry or spend money upgrading year after year...
