Powerful Mac. Beautiful machine.

I bought this Mac two years ago and upgraded to 2 GB RAM. I also installed a Miglia TV card. In the beginning, there were some kernel panics. But after updates to 10.3.9 and now 10.4.2 this Mac is rock stable. Everything works flawlessly and fast. I didn't have any problems with ILife 5 and 6, or other applications after the necessary updates. I am extremely pleased with this Mac and will use it for many years. Some people told me not to buy a PCI Mac, but now after two years, it seemed that even PCI-X is is replaced and that this was the best buy for me.
Very quick, but not reliable

I have recently purchased the PowerMac G5 and have had to go through the return policy twice now. I only use the PowerMac for iTunes and iPhoto, and these two programs seem to hang up the computer. I am unable to put it to sleep and run iTunes half of the time. I get the spinning beachball of death. DO NOT BUY until Apple can fix these issues.

Still unreliable

I've had it in for repairs with no luck.
This is generally considered to be the worse Mac ever made and was only on the market for 30days.
