thanks

That seems like a resonable price to me. 1.6 GHz is plenty fast for most things and 768 MB RAM is decent too.

At the price it seems like a good deal. Personally I would go for an iMac with a Core Duo processor. But if you feel like saving a few bucks, then go with the 1.6GHz Power Mac G5- it still offers a good deal of speed for most of your computing needs.
