    Hi everyone! I picked up the G4-1164CA from Futureshop ($450) a few days ago. Anybody else pick up this little baby yet?

    Runs very cool (fan hardly ever turns on), not bad for games, and quite snappy otherwise. :)

    There's a G4-1117dx with an AMD A4 APU at Best Buy I've been looking at. I want to yank the built in HD, put a 750G or 1TB in the ODD bay, and put an SSD in the main bay, go to 8G and use it for simple development / sysadmin stuff. Looks like a good fit, just wondering how well it's supported yet by Ubuntu...
