saw it this morning, the form factor is beautiful , and it's got some interesting ports, including an optical port for attaching 5.1 speakers. It's available in 17"and 20" form factors, and starts at $1299 US, a great price for a G5-based computer.
still skimps on RAM - 256 MB. Some weenies are complaining that the video chip is "too weak" (it's an NVDIA G-Force FX 5200 Ultra), but I think the people buying this aren't going to be using this for playing games on
one thing that has people cheering - MUCH better way to upgrade RAM or the internal drives, the back comes off just by undoing three screws (for anyone who's tried to do a RAM upgrade on a SpaceEgg or LuxoLamp iMac, this is a huge improvement).
all in all, I like.

actually, you can with a USB TV tuner. Don't know what they offer in the UK, but over here you can get ones for Mac from companies like Formac, ATI and ElGato.fitch wrote:
