    Well, it looks like I will get the tower, but only the one that is 2.7ghz just for the raw speed I will put up with owning a desktop computer for now.
    The price seems to be around $250 to $300 for the 2.7ghz version on ebay.
    :-D

    I see them cheaper on craigslist. The latest is under $200, with a
    color calibrated monitor. I think some architectual or graphics firm
    is clearing out a storage closet, based on location, and other
    offerings. Good luck in the quest!

    Funny, I thought if anyone was going to carry this ball it would have been Frank or Mark.
    You guys just keep demanding support and it materializes.
    Well, here to yet another neat development.
    I'll be completely happy to stay with this ISA for quite awhile.
    Now if we only had more complete OpenGL support...

    Well, Frank did the port. And - as said - it is just a demo that it could be done. There are no plans to release or finish the ports.

    Pity, these guys keep clamoring for it.
    Personally, I'm fine with what we already have.
    I'm not really impressed with the reliability of the iMac models.

    Reviving this old thread with an mostly unanswered question:

    What is it that makes an iMac G5 port difficult? PM G5 is here. iMacs have Radeon cards. And we got a working proof of concept since years back. So what's holding back an official release?

    The problem is that we have way too many models that are supported already and there are always specific issues to solve. what isnt visible from the outside are often the subtle differences even for a specific model over its whole production period which are not made public ....
