Dang it! I was watching a G4 MDD with a 1.8 CPU/2.0 GB RAM upgrade on Ebay but got sidetracked and missed the close. Sold for $220... Not much else of interest there right now.

About the G5 power mac...they are really selling in the $700 range used on Ebay. Seems pretty steep considering a refurbished Intel iMac can be had for $1000. I'm worried about spending that kind of money on a G5 powered Mac. So running Leopard what sort of "seat of pants" user experience would I expect between a 1.8 CPU & video card upgrade on my G4 vs. going with a standard 1.6 G5 powermac vs. a refurb intel iMac? I like the mini but am worried about lack of expansion.
