Wow! That is one hideous MOFO, very expensive and it's only a quad core PPC...

I'd get a MacPro... :-)

-Edit- 850Watt PSU!!!!! I'd never be able to afford the electricity bill!!!! :-o

"according to Apple, the MacPro pulls about 980 watts (versus 1000 for the Quad G5) total, most of it dedicated to the PCI Express slots."

So you'd rather get an intel-based system which pulls in more than the PPC one linked above.  And you also didn't note that the system actually draws less power than Apple's old Powermac G5.

Typical use seems to be 150W to 200W for the old G5 Powermac.  Remember, just because a PSU can handle a max load that high doesn't mean it is always pulling that much power.

Actually, I thought the only reason anyone linked to that was the traditional, "OS 4 would run great on this!  Someone should port it!" sentiment.  But if we're just goin' by hardware we'd rather have, I just got a cheap quad-core system for under $500.  If it only ran OS X, it'd be perfect!
