Sweet Rudy! I was going to get one of the revised PowerMacs as well. A dual 2GHz like the one you got but I waited till Tuesday to see whether the iMac's would be updated as rumours suggested.

As you know the iMac's were updated and it was too good to refuse for me so I've ordered the 20", 2GHz iMac. Can't wait!

Oh, and please do post some pictures man!

Just received mine! Would any of you know how to hook up logitech z680s to the powermac? Would I need to buy any additional items to do so?

I'm eager to know as well... I was going to put together an AMD64 system, but at that price, I'd be crazy NOT to get a dual 2.0ghz G5 monster!
CaptainOats
Compared to my pc, the powermac is so silent. The downside to that is that I now notice an annoying hiss from my z680s. My pc covered up the hiss since the fans are so loud. I realize other people have this problem, has anyone found a solution? I'm using monster toslink optical cables.
