If you spend your days doing processor-intensive tasks on big files, the dual-2.7GHz Power Mac G5 may be worth its price. However, if you can live with less than maximum performance, the other two models offer more bang for the buck.
Pros: Fastest Mac available; support for 30-inch Cinema HD display; big hard drive; double-layer SuperDrive; huge memory capacity; PCI-X slots.
Cons: Relatively steep premium for modest performance advantage.
