GO FOR IT!  Best investment in computer technology I've ever made.   
Definitely makes spending long hours in front of a screen a pleasure as  
opposed to a drag.  Apple monitors have always been really nice and  
their current line of LCDs are stunning to behold.

Here is a tip if you want to save $$$ -- try the Apple Store web site  
and click the link in the lower left hand side "Special Deals."  Either  
new or refurbished Mac gear and significant savings.  I was reluctant  
until I met a few people who've had good experience going this route.   
Also, I was able to purchase a protection plan for the Power Mac and  
monitor (~$350) that covers the equipment for 3 years.  For me, that  
took the worry out of buying refurb.

This link may not work based on the way Apple's site tends to time out  
URLs:

But they have a 23" Cinema HD for $1699.  They go for $1999.  A year  
ago they were going for ~$2500 and I got mine for $1799.  I consider it  
a good investment in preserving my eyesight.  Again, *highly*  
recommended.  Make it a business expense and find ways to make it pay  
for itself!  :)

I don't really need a G5 tower, but the idea of a machine HALF as quiet  
as my current one is worth looking into.  Ruth, they have some  
powerbooks on there so check it out.
