I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together.

Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display (the clear acrylic one) sitting on my desk where the eMac used to be... I'm a very happy camper!

As far as upgrades go, throwing in another 2 gigs of RAM is pretty low-cost... I'm not sure that going higher than 4GB would be worthwhile on a machine that's primarily doing 2D graphics... a second HDD is also on my shopping list.

My eventual plan is to get a second identically specced machine as a full hardware/software/file back up.
