There is a caveat, though: G5 iMacs and the first couple generations of Intels suffered from display and/or graphic card problems. I've not only read about it, but seen them firsthand. YMMV, of course. My neighbor had a G5 that had them --the screen started getting vertical lines, then strips, and it all went downhill from there--, and I have the first Core 2 Duo model, which suffered a similar illness and was repaired by Apple at no cost to the previous owner. That said, this iMac is a peach and does everything any newer machine does. Its only drawback is the 3 gig memory ceiling, and that won't bother most people, anyway.
