My games work well under the mac mini, as I sold the G5 on ebay for 750.00 + 35.00 shipping.
Given the fact that the G5 was a good computer it was also huge and no-a-days I'd like the smallest computer.
The mini is 2lbs the G5 48lbs.
480 watts for the G5; 100 watts for the mini...
I also scored a Powerbook 17" not the hi rez model 1.67Ghz on ebay for 465.00, it's in perfect condition. it came with 1 gb ram but I bumped it to 2GB, the 100 gb hdd is fine for me B/C when I sold the G5 I kept the 1tb HDD and sold it with the 400GB hdd.
I bought a mini stack v3 from owc and installed the 1tb in that so I use it for the powerbook and the mini, I boot off the 1tb as that was my main drive on the G5 where I had everything.
I pretty much got rid of all my computers, what I had 2 months ago to now.
2 months ago I had PMG5, Powermac AIO, Powerbook 15" hi rez (but that was in ok shape, there were dents and such it was from craigslist) and a Compaq presairo 15.4" screen with an AMD processor (wasn't that fast at all)
Sold them bought the mini (that can do windows) and the 17" powerbook.
That was a cleanout as to what I needed as opposed to what I wanted..and the mini has applecare on it and when I bought the PB on ebay the squaretrade warrantee was 47.00 for a year so I got it... don't kick in until 12/14/2009 to 12/14/2010.
The extra money I made on all of that I put into my savings...
