My New PowerMac G5

I finally upgraded to a PowerMac G5. The G4 went to the girls! It has been a pure joy using the G5. It has Dual 2GHz CPUs, 2.5GB of Memory, 160GB Disk Drive, and a CD/DVD burner. I am running two 19 inch monitors - which gives me a rather large desktop. The design is very clean. I opened box to add the new RAM - the tasks could not be any easier. I added an iSight cam as well. (Click on thumbnail for larger image)
