All in all it is a system that offers enough power for convenient usage, looks rather nice and doesn't need a nuclear power plant in the basement to be operated. The iMac is quite a tad faster on browsing than the MacMini 1.5 GHz or the Powerbook 1.67 (5.6 in my case). . . The iMac is really a nice system: rather silent
I didn't think I was a fan of the iMac initially, but the A1145 2.1GHz G5 has it's own 20" screen built-in, uses 185 Watt power supply, housed-inside case, with all the hardware tucked in the housing, so desk space
is only the iMac itself, and as MorphOS can only use 1 CPU core then it's all you need. With v3.18 of MorphOS you can even switch the screen off/on with the keyboard shortcut (F1/F2), so that's another plus for me.
MacMini 1.5GHz,64MB VRAM, PowerBooks A1138/9 (Model 5,8/9),PowerMac G5 2.3GHz(DP), iMac A1145 2.1GHz 20", all with MorphOS v3.18+,Airport,Bluetooth,A1016 Keyboard,T-RB22 Mouse,DVD-RW-DL,MiniMax,Firewire/USB2 & MacOSX 10.4/5
