Powermac/Imac G5 help

[JimmyB]

Whats up guys, I have been looking around at getting a Powermac G5 or the Imac G5 and I'm not really sure of the defferences between the two....? Could someone help me out? I'm also wondering what a good price is on a used one. I have found some between $500-700 on craigs list and ebay but have also come across G5s with all the same internals for well over $1000...

Im pretty new to this site! it's badass!!! Thanks for any help guys!

powermac is the desktop tower:

imac is the stand-alone model where the monitor and the computer are in the same casing.

i would get the Powermac and get an Apple Cinema Display (Not the brand new one unless you want to spend a lot more money.) It might be more expensive, but i think it it is definitely worth it!
