blu-ray drive in and speakers for XServe G5
Hi folks At the moment, I use an XServe G5 (2·0 GHz, 2GB RAM) running Leopard client (not Leopard Server) as my main computer. It looks like I'll be using it for a while to come. Can anyone recommend speakers and a blu- ray player - or doesn't the G5 have enough poke for such shiny additions?

Your G5 is more than ample speed-wise for blu-ray. Blu-Ray is just a big DVD, really. Video data on it is usually either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 (h.264). No big deal. Apple does not directly support Blu-Ray. But 3rd party software support is available, and companies like OWC (macsales) offer the drives, both internal and external. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/ Speakers are so subjective. IMO it's best to go to computer stores and take a listen to what they have. If yer going to be doing any video editing, you might want to consider adding some memory.

Near to where I live is one the biggest Mac Centre stores in the region (on the Northolland peninsula). I am looking for an iMac G5 in their bargain basement during the January clearance sale. Or would it be better to go for an XServe? I need a model that can support an external Blu-Ray drive or any other external peripherals yet to come. Currently I'm doing a photography and image processing course where I often use an iMac G5. It's sleek and fast but I don't know if it can handle all the external gizmos.

In my youth (early 80's), when I had hair and good hearing, I could tell the difference between $200 pr KMart specials, $500pr Klipschs, $900pr Polks (top of the line, which I bought) and, the Quad ESL63s ($5,000 pr, iirc). Shuold have gone for the $1200.00 Klipsch Horn instead. Sorry, but I had to stick up for my home state.
