i know everyone will send me threats if i dont get the g5, but just hear me out. heres what im looking at:
Mac Mini
1 gig ddr sdram
80 gig ATA ultra drive
4x superdrive
Internal Bluetooth and Airport Extreme
wired keyboard and mightymouse
1.42 ghz G4
$952.00
PowerMac
1 gig ddr sdram
Dual 2 ghz G5
160 gig Serial ATA- 7200 RPM
ATI Raedon 9600 w/128 meg ddr sdram
Airport Extreme
16x superdrive
wired keyboard and wired mouse
$2,178.00
Big difference is specs and price, but my problem is timing. in the wakes of porting over to intel do i get a mini, wait it out and get a powermac when everything is finished and calm. Or, do I just f*ck it all and get the power mac now. It won't be obsolete for a good long time but thats not what im worried about. Money is kind of an issue but if i get the powermac i wont get a new display. I already have a brand new ibook G4 that i'm using for school, but i want a machine i can just use for all the goodies that the feds dont want me to use . the minis hd is not as large as id hoped but i could always get an external firewire. Most probably going with the mini, but any insight is welcome.
