imac G5, any owners? Options

[celicaST]

i bought an imac G5 for college in july and lately ive been reading that the cpu tends to overheat and cause nearby capacitors to bulge. apple supposedly fixed this problem in the rev B imacs. i installed temp monitoring software on my computer and have found that it regularly gets up to 170 degrees when im playing halo, watching hd movies, etc. i havnt had failures of any sort yet so im probably worrying for nothing. on the other hand, when you spend this kind of money on a computer youd expect it to work under all conditions, and i dont like how apple seems to have designed this computer more for design than function. anybody else here having problems with there imac overheating?

I dont understand why people buy mac computers, I guess I just never will, I mean there not bad but there just so limited. I like a big aftermarket of things to pick from. or atleast a way to upgrade without replacement when it gets old.

some of us aren't all about performance, but are also concerned with aesthetics. hence why I own a celica. not to say my 1.5 ghz g4 is a dog but its not the fastest laptop out there. but put my powerbook against any pc and you tell me which one is better designed. same goes for the celi and your average sport compact
