Any Mac people here?

[qube_TA]

I'm looking for a new PC and have been tempted to go down the Mac route, I've been using Linux for years and although I like it Mrs qube_TA sometimes struggles with it.

I've been offered one of these:

With an ATI card n 3GB of RAM for £500.

Looks mint, runs the latest OS fine, however as I have about 10 mins experience with one of these I've no idea whether or not it's worth the money or worth bothering with a G5 now that they've gone Intel.

It doesn't seem to be a huge leap from using Linux with a Gnome desktop so should be easy enough to pick up.

Comments would be appreciated.

Cheers.

If the G5 is single CPU I'd buy a Mini.

Unless you really need the expansion space I can't see it making sense to buy a PowerPC based Mac.

It's a Dual 2.5Ghz G5 Powermac with 3.5gb ram with decent GFX & Leopard OS.

It's the one in the link above.
