   I bought this Computer in late 2003, so I’ve had it a while to evaluate it.
   The first thing you notice is the build quality, no computer I’ve ever owned or seen comes close, It’s precision engineering at its best.
   A for instance:
   After I’d had the unit a couple of weeks I wanted to put in a second HD, and found that all screws & leads are already in the G5, the whole installation took about 3 minutes including the format.
   Other things you’ll notice is it’s huge! like 25% bigger than most other PC’s I’ve owned and the handles make it even larger.
   Performance wise it’s pretty much up there with most of the Apps I use and is about the same speed as a P4 3ghz.
   So 18 months ownership, no problems, it’s well put together pretty fast and of course OS X has been rock solid.
   If you had to push me for a negative:
   for such a large box another HD space would have been nice, apart from that It’s a great computer.
