IN SHORT! This machine lasted me years until MAC/APPLE decided to become the EVIL in computer manufacturing and build machines that become obsolete. There is something said about investing a lot of money into a product that is made to last (like a mercedes, a rolex, a MAC) well its sad to think that no matter how much money you spend these days there are companies out there who are determined to make you buy NEW anytime something changes or anytime they have a better idea. This machine is the perfect Example from Apple computers. They now manufacture machines that you buy and spend LOTS of money on to only become second generation, left to the dust to be on the shelf of unwanted toys.Apple is a brilliant machine, never a virus, never failure in processing and its perfect for editing and getting er done. I have had Apple computers since High School and love them and i am really sad to see how much they have become greedy and not stand and support its past owners. The G5 2.5 dual processor was the first of its kind and it was a brilliant machine. Never had an issue, always did its job and ran the best aps it supported in its time. But if you are anything like me in this current economy, its just not easy to keep up with the Jones' and buy NEW, NOW and current. This G5 isn't a new machine, it has its limitations and it will still do what its meant to do with what it has. If you have always wanted a tower with more processing than the laptops, at least this machine will offer you more support than some and defiantly more support than a PC. New this machine with all the software was 12K YEAH, 12K. To me it was like buying a new car, and I made it back from all the years of work it produced. Now, I have falling victim of the latest processing and the latest requirements for my type of work and needed to move on. But there are people out there who don't know how to do all this amazing digital art and electronic editing, but if you are getting into it, well this is like a three wheeler and training wheels, you will become great on it and learn how to master your skills until you make money to buy the current and greatest machine.

The almost new G5 from Mr. Jose Masi is serving me excellently!As well as the fact that Mr. Jose Masi performed excellently!! The G5 arrived exactly on time, worked perfectly as Jose earlier described, and, in fact, Jose Masi went above and beyond in configuring the G5 to my requirements prior to shipping out to me. I cannot extol Mr. Masi enough! Really! So thank you Jose, thank you!

First of all let me start by saying this computer just can't keep up anymore, you'll find yourself struggling to play videos on certain websites and doing any video work takes forever, if you try to export a ten minute video in HD with this computer it will take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. This computer uses a lot of electricity (600 watts) your electric bill will go through the roof!! And the noise this machine makes is unbearable. If you do anything like open a program or watch a youtube video the fans will rev up to full speed because the computer uses so much power and generates so much heat!! Any intel mac is faster than this. Also this is powerpc, powerpc is not supported for anything anymore, there are no programs that will run on this computer. This was a good computer back in 2004, but it's just not a good purchase for 2011.
