I think in my position I'd take the G5 purely because I hate having a real small computer-mainly for the reasons of fixing and modifying. For this the G5 is in the class above

This is my first post to the group. I have been a Mac user for the last 6 years. I have always wanted a Powemac/macpro. The cost it what has always held me back. Currently I use a 12" PB G4 for most of my mobile needs (just bought it from a friend) . But, I am looking to replace my current iBook G4 which has been my work horse for the last 4 years. I am a little frustrated as of now. I can't afford a Mac Pro. Powermac G5s are affordable, but seems way outdated. I was expecting Apple to upgrade the Mac Minis, but nothing has happened. My current setup is a 24" Samsung LCD that I use for playing xBox 360 and office work ( I got it for $160 at Best Buy). I bought the LCD with the hope of hooking my desktop up to it. That is the reason I don't want to/can't buy a iMac. My priorities are: Running 2 Windows xp apps editing video with iMovie and final cut And support for my 54GB library of growning media. My budget is $800 or less and both the Intel Mac Mini and PowerMac G5 seem to fit the bill. I just don't know if the G5 will run windows.
