Of course not. It's not a desktop computer so much as a workstation. :-)
I have to admit, the G5 is probably the first Mac tower I actually like. It should definately have more drive bays, though. That's the whole reason PC's are more cluttered, after all. Nobody would buy a PC tower without extra drive bays.
I also wish it came with a better video card. I mean, the ultra-high-end G5 only comes with a Radeon 9600 Pro, and the 9800 Pro is "$300 extra".
That's sort of like getting automatic transmission for "$1000 extra". Remember, you're paying for the old graphics chip PLUS the new one. Overall, the Mac 9800 Pro holds a $200 premium over the PC version. Custom drivers can't be *that* expensive to make!
PCI-X is really nice, though. I wish there were some S-ATA optical drives for the PC, too.
