[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1561801, member: 56379"] The Mac-Mini is DEFINITELY the better computer! The BIG Powermac G5 case is just better for expansion compared to the Mac-Mini. The Powermac G5 can be as old as 2003 (10+ years old)...the Mac-Mini is from "Late-2012"...and is actually a currently selling model. Another way of looking at things. The Geekbench benchmark score for each computer: - 2003 Powermac G5: 1692 - 2012 Mac-Mini: 6643 The 2012 Mac-Mini is practically 4x faster than the Powermac G5. So a "Late 2012" (practically new) Mac-Mini EASILY beats a 10+ year-old Powermac G5!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
