[G4] Which Computer is Best?

[Richard Gray]

What I do not like about the G5 machines is that the g5 chip runs hot 
and there are a lot of fans in a G5 mac. I find the fans noisy. also 
I believe that they consume more power.... so I guess is that they 
cost more to run... how much more?? I do not know
