Even though the Dual G5 isn't the fastest of the bunch, I still like it. It looks great. Hoping to get one (the cheapest one). Thank the lord Apple ditched Motorola chips. Those are slow as fuck.

does it worry you that the "cheapest" one is still horrifically expensive?

they do look pretty, though.

Yeas it does worry me, so not only am I going to wait 2 years to buy one, I'm going to buy it off of a Craigslist.org's personal classified ad, so it's even cheapter. Really though, Apple has really bad price/performance ratio.
