I think you may be exaggerating a little bit with those remarks, but I won't be surprised if the G5 is faster than an CPU aimed at routers and embedded devices.
That's where I shake my head. They are taking a router CPU and trying to make it work in a staggeringly expensive desktop computer.
The electricity and heat comparisons are non-issues to me. Electricity is dirt cheap here and the system doesn't run 24/7. Heat is a non factor too. Noise is about the only thing I'd change, but I'm not about to drop $2,500+ for it just to have a much slower computer.
This is boutique manufacturing, and I just don't get it. Anyone who wants one and gets one, more power to them. They are probably much more well off financially than me. I can't justify dropping that kind of dime on a vanity project.
