[QUOTE="fstjohn, post: 1561776, member: 54804"] I recently was given a used Power Mac G5 that was clean as a whistle. I currently have a Mac Mini that I've been working on. Question is: which machine would it make sense for me to build upon and make my primary Mac? Seems like the Mac Mini is the superior machine, but perhaps the G5 is a better bet for the long run?
