@sven - my Amish Pc is still $45k more. And you forgot a few options on you G5, there is still fibre channel, server os, bluetooth, you can max it at about $15k. Oh and in a year when your liquid cooled processor croaks, you can pay a few grand for a new one, so you should by the 3yr apple care for $250.

Hold on a sec lemme make your mouth water...
 Extreme Edition 2MB L3 Cache Intel® Pentium 4 Hyper-Threading @ 3.8GHz 2GB (533MHz) DDR ATI Radeon™ 9800 XT 256MB including VGA, DVI & S-Video connectors 1 Terabyte 7200RPM/ 8MB Buffer High-speed 12x DVD±RW HD's reportedly as fast as RAM  http://www.go-l.com/desktops/machl38/features/index.htm Some people have reported that the link doesn't work, i'm guessing it's a dns problem as their server was also inaccessible by me a few weeks ago. Tough I'm not seeing a price estimate, I can tell you that a year ago it was in the $20,000 range |

8 GBs of RAm for a home PC is a waste, period.

if I spent $300k+ for a laptop I'd want a much bigger screen. And besides it's only 14carat white gold, what's the point 24k or nothing.
