There is no way an EQUIVALENT PC to a G5 costs under $900. You need to compare all features that come with the G5, like gigabit ethernet, firewire, graphics card, sound capabilities, even the mouse is optical, not a flimsy ball. Then there is the software! Some of which you can't even get on the PC, while others have something "similar" but not really. check out the integration between iMovie and iDVD. Try to find something as perfect as iSync. All this software has a value. I won't even begin to talk about OSX. When all is siad and done, the price of a Mac is not bad...it's downright nice!
