New G5's with dual 2.5 processors are fast...

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great linux-based workstation-level Mac at a high price.
Review: I recently purchased this computer for work in order to perform complex image processing analyses which can take hours or days at a time. This was previously done using PC's running Redhat. The configuration on this G5 was the dual 2.5 processors, 4...

Very, Very, VERY, fast. Quiet, well designed.

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: The premier Unix workstation (for the consumer). This is no home computer; large enterprise business uses the same machine (PPC970), and so does the US Army.
Review: This review will evolve as my experience with this Mac evolves. I am coming from a Dual 500 G4, and a PB G4 1.0GHz so the performance leap has been quite impressive. Having said that, I have been playing around with a dual 2.0 also at a friends...

Now What?

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Apparently obsolete as of this writing
Review: When Jobs introduced this machine two years ago, he promised 3 Gigahertz. It's only at 2.7 now, and 3 will probably never get here; Jobs has announced barely two weeks ago that all newly designed systems will use, gasp, Intel processors. Well, this...

These are dropping like flies after 3-4 years

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2009
Review: This was a great computer until it died.  These machines are dropping dead all over the country and Apple won't do anything about it.  Don't go near any liquid cooled G5 machines with a ten foot pole!

Hundreds of machines have failed in the...

odd thing

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2005
Review: I have a 2.7 G5 dual , my second (the first was the 2G) and this is much more noisy and within 48 hours after I have put all my material on the hard drive the CD drive jams. I need to work on this and cannot afford to not have it for the week or two...

Say hello to Dell Destroyer

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2005
Review: Simply unbelievable.
Dual Processors that make speed nothing. OS X the most advanced operating system in the world. A LOT better than that dell you got for 400$. No comparison at all. Apple just ripped it.
