How much did you pay for the G5 and when did you get it? I have been looking at Mac Pros and G5s. I want something that can play WoW with decent graphics settings. -_- The Macbook ain't cutting it anymore.

350 euros, 2 years ago which was a great deal back then. but nowadays it can be obtained much cheaper. It is the 1.8Ghz SP.
You should definitely avoid powerpc if you want more power. At the moment it is more than enough for my needs, sometimes when I want to glue 15 pictures in to a panorama (using PSCS4), things can get a bit slow.

I am new to MacRumors:Forums and just got a chance to take a picture of my setup. The setups in this thread are outstandingly diverse. Some of the setups in this thread inspired me to make my own setup. Thanks for posting your setups; keep them going! Anyways, without further a do, here is my current setup...

The stand in that picture is the Griffin Elevator, it costs around $40 and can be purchased at many computer stores (I purchased mine at the local Apple Store). If you want too see more pics of one in my setup then check out the link in my signature.

Correct, although I strongly recommend getting the mStand Laptop Stand by Rain Design. $48 bucks on Amazon.com right now.

That, or the MSI Wind. But I think your Wi-Fi works right through Airport doesn't it? That and your headphone jacks work IIRC.

Resident OSX86 guy here. On the Mini 9/Vostro a90 it works out of the box, native support by Apple, on the MSI Wind (U100, not sure about U123) it has to be replaced, unless they recently came out with a driver for it there has been a driver made for it, but I would go with a native supported card. Pretty much everything works right after install, most you have to do is install kexts in "SLE" and run DellEFI, and then you've got a fully working, apple-update-able MacBook Mini/Nano.

I use a Wind. The utility to connect to WiFi is, thought ugly, a bit more helpful that Airport some times (though I'd never choose to use it if I didn't have to) and is easy to hide out of the way when you don't want it. Updating is not a big deal for me. All non-system updates work fine under Windosx86, and when it comes to updates like 10.5.8 and the like, it's not that difficult. For me, it was a choice of physical preference and a history of absolutely terrible Dell computers that led me to the Wind. As for the few shortcomings, they have been (thus far) easy to get around. No complaints.

Meh, I would still get a Dell, even though I've had hell for a history with them, just purely for the fact of it being easier to use/setup. 2 questions though: Why WindOSX86 and not retail? How is the driver/util for the stock wifi card?
