Yea if the new ones are faster I'll just go with a refurb imac or maybe the macbook pro. The refurbs have a year warranty and it was suggested to me that Apples hold their value pretty good so you can just sell it in a year or so and buy another.

I'm thinking I'll just go that route because it's about the same price as trying to buy a G5 dual cpu unit off e-bay. I hate having to buy one at all but I need it to work on this new project.

Now I just have to decide on if I want the laptop or the desktop. I really don't use a laptop much and if I buy one I'd need to get a separate monitor because I can't work on a little 15 inch one. However then it would be like having dual monitors.. so more work space.

Then on the flip side, I could go with the 24 inch imac at the same price and not have to buy anything extra, but it wouldn't be portable.
