User friendly, great for music software, and anyone with tied budget!

Well, I bought PowerMac because as an upcoming music producer who uses PT HD as software, it is not compactible with PC...besides, many reviews I read about G5 were very positive, so I decided to buy it.
So far it's been good, easy to set up and very user friendly. But so far I am unable to connect it to the internet, however, it is doing the work I bought it for.
What I don't like about it is the fan, it's too noisy and heating. The monitor is cool, I like it's build-up, color and the apple logo is very cute, the tower also has a nice shape and well designed one of the reasons I like it.
As compare to PC they both weigh almost the same. same number of usb ports as my PC.
Overall, I like this machine eventhough I am still learning and getting used to it.

Apple Power G5 Mac Desktop

This is a very good upgrade for the Apple tower it replaced. It's solidly built and rugged, having survived a drop off some sort in which the box came apart slightly and one corner of the casing separated a little from the main tower. The "genius bar" at a local Apple store took care of this and checked it over and found no internal damage, fortunately. The technician at the same store also fixed a compatibility problem in which the OS was not recognizing the system software in the hard drive. I bought (from the same store) an iWork '09 program to compensate for what was lost in the system fix. So far the unit is doing all I expect it to do with lots more RAM, ROM, and bus speed, and for a lot less than what a new tower would cost me.

AMAZING! I'm so glad I bought this MAC Tower Thanks!

I love everything about thie MAC Tower. I will never buy another PC EVER AGAIN!It even worked with all of my PC parts, printer, mouse, wireless, and keyboard. The only thing that was a bit difficult was figuring out how to open the CD/DVD cause my keyboard is not an Apple keyboard, but I figured out that if you open iTunes and go to tools then hit the eject button, it works just fine. That's the only thing that took some time to figure out. Other than that, it's super fast and super awesome. Thanks so much!!!

A Strong Workhorse

This is an excellent computer for work or home, if you do not need to be on a newer computer. I use it at work for a variety of tasks, but namely internet, e-mail, word processing and photo viewing/sharing. Also, good for IM applications like Skype or iChat.

G5 never goes unnoticed

While the intel macs are great nothing beats the power of the original G5. I have found the parts easy to get to and identify and the power behind the G5 is always expandable.
