Overheating problems [Posted on 2006-08-09]
I only use this computer because I have to at work - It's practically useless due to overheating problems. A computer should be able to burn a cd without overheating to the point of freezing up.
An Awesome Computer-Top of the line. [Posted on 2007-01-02]
I got this for Christmas & I am still in awe of it. So much more space with the processor,VGA,speakers,CD/DVD slot all in one piece.I don't know how they did it, but it works amazingly & has a sleek, classy, design.
The added features, like the Built-in-Bluetooth ,Apple remote, mighty mouse, built in video cam & more, make this an exciting computer to operate. I'm definitely impressed!

An outstanding computer. It has been one of the best purchases I've made on-line.
iMac G5 will last you a long, long time [Posted on 2007-08-02]
I have owned all 3 revisions of the iMac G5 and can tell you these are the best Mac computers. The all-in-one design is so simple and elegant. The latest Rev. C iMac G5 at 2.1GHz is the fastest yet. What really makes this computer move is the improved graphics chip, a 128MB ATI X600, much faster than the 128MB Radeon 9600 on the Rev. B iMac, and much, much faster than the64MB Nvidia 5200 FX of the Rev. A iMac.
A nice addition to this iMac G5 2.1GHz is the iSight webcam. You need a high-speed (cable or DSL) internet connection to really take advantage of it. My kids can see and talk with Grandma and Grandpa in another state, who they hardly get to see in person. But with iChat AV and the iSight they can talk on a regular basis.
The included software bundle is almost complete. I say almost because you get email, web browsing, iChat AV, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and others, but really is lacking a good word processor. So I bought Microsoft Word, which runs great on this computer for word processing. It is nice to have everything include and work so perfectly. I even sync my bluetooth phone.
I have had this iMac for over 1.5 years and plan to keep it for a very long time. 2.1GHz and with the updated video card with 128MB video RAM will keep me going for a long time. Oh yeah, also make sure to upgrade the RAM by adding a 1GB or even a 2GB memory module. I put in a 1GB for 1.5GB total, and it runs all my apps just fine, with memory to spare. 2.5GB total would have been overkill and $$$ wasted.
Also, this iMac runs many of the OS 9 apps that will NOT run on the newer intel models. Yes, you still run across OS 9 only apps from time to time, so this is VERY important and why I will be keeping my iMac G5 for a long time.
Caveat emptor from a Mac enthusiast [Posted on 2007-10-30]
I bought mine in March 2006 and the display died October 2007. If you don't have the extended warranty it will cost $$$ if anything on the logic board fails or if the LCD panel fails. Since the video card is part of the logic board you don't have many options for repair. I wish it had a DVI output for an external monitor since you cannot currently connect it to any displays that Apple sells. The quality of the DVI connection is much better than the mini-VGA present on this iMac. Otherwise it's a great OS X machine. When the display worked, it was beautiful.
