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.

Re: speakers
I spent a little more on a set of Logitech Z-323, and have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of output from a £35 purchase. That equates to around US$55, but I'd bet they're a damn sight cheaper in the US than in the UK. Everything else is... Ted Baldassare Guzzo wrote: Thanks. Im looking at them now.

I only need office OR front room at one time as I'm going to use the monitor/speakers in the living room for a make shift media viewer with front row. Does that make sense? I think it would be a bit easier without all the powered speakers and a regular amplifier, but I don't have the room for the amplifier or the money to get one really Hmmm I think what I need is some kind of speaker switch box?

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. Women who can eat corn on the cob through a picket fence, and Bill Clinton, are not the only things to come out of Hope, AR. As for that $500.00 wooden volume knob, sounds like it's time to fire up the Skil saw!. I'll bet I can knock those out for only $350.00, and still make a profit!

They connect to your Power Mac G4 desktop systems using a single cable which provides 20 watts of sound (10 watts/channel) to the speakers with a frequency range of 70 hertz to 20 kilohertz. Apple Pro Speakers are different from the speakers that came with the Power Mac G4 Cube: While the Apple Pro Speakers look very similar to the Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, the Apple Pro Speakers get their power from the computer and thus require a system with an Apple speaker minijack (like the one that's on the new Power Mac G4). The Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, on the other hand, are USB-powered and are designed to work only with Power Mac G4 Cube systems. Also, the G4 Cube speakers have an external amplifier, whereas the Power Mac G4 has an internal amplifier that supports the Apple Pro Speakers. The analog-based speakers require systems with an Apple speaker minijack. They are not USB-based speakers Jeff Bequettejbeque...@tconl.com
