Just got a new Mac G5 in this week.

It's a dual-1.8 GHz G5. Yes, it's blazing fast, especially compared to my old 800MHz G4. But you know what the best thing about it is?

It's sooooooooooo quiet!

This is really important to me because I work at home and the constant drone of computer fans really bothers me. In my old G4 I had 2 video cards and I didn't realize how noisy the old PCI Radeon card was. Now, with the new computer (and plugging both displays into one card), the thing is so quiet I can't even hear it unless I stick my ear next to it. Yet I can put my hand in front of all the little holes and feel plenty of air being sucked in. It's amazing that putting MORE fans into the case makes it quieter.
