[X4U] which G5 iMac model is best?

[Dave B]

The early (non-iSight) G5 iMacs are super simple to work on.  
Disconnect everything, lay screen down, loosen (but don't try to  
remove!) 3 screws, remove back cover and stand as one piece. Observe  
all components in plain sight!

The later iSight equipped models are much harder to disassemble and  
reassemble, never mind accessing the drives. Only the RAM is easy on  
those machines!
