[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1217867, member: 45350"] I have never heard of any problems with the PowerMac and overheating. Obviously, you don't have the same cramped conditions as in the iMac. So, I think it would be a good choice if you are looking for a G5 based system. As far as your other questions (assuming you are planning on running Tiger or Leopard) I don't see where you would have any problem with the transition. I can't specifically answer it because I have never tried it. The key here is not the processor, but the OS you are running. EDIT: It looks like I spoke too soon. Just to make sure I did a search and found this. [url]http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1466124[/url] So, it looks like the Power Mac wasn't immune to the problem. Still it should do better than the iMac G5. [/QUOTE]
