I'd avoid the G5 iMac.
I've dealt with too many bad motherboards on those things recently.

Plus, that's about a hundred bucks overpriced before shipping.

G5 motherboards of any type are ending up dead way to often for me to consider recommending one, unless someone is desperate to get a dead machine running again.

i got my core 2 duo 2.0 ghz imac 17'' for about 600, over a year ago.
so yeah, the G5s are to be avoided, unless they're DIRT cheap.
