[QUOTE="martyp, post: 793669, member: 61183"] The later dual core systems also had dual ethernet sockets which may come in handy in a server environment, aside from that I'd do your best to get the later revision. :) HDD wise, with 1TB and even 1.5TB drives becoming so cheap hooking two up using RAID1 in the G5 it is a great option. Unsure what you'd do for the external backup though - does time machine work with Mac OS X Server? You really want an off-site copy of the server just in case. [/QUOTE]
