The 5200 and 5300 (and derivatives of em) suck. The 5400 (if only 
because Apple sold it on Black in Europe :) ) and 5500 are ok as they 
are reasonably fast and have PCI. I've seen 5500s fetch high bidding on 
eBay, around �80, don't even ASK how much a black 5400 goes for!!

AS far as the 5xx All-in-One LCs go they are not really my cup of tea - 
as you might well have noticed by now I prefer the pizza box style LCs 
:). I do have to say the 5xx form factor has a logic board that you can 
swap into a Color Classic which, if it's a 575 or 580, is worth $5 
alone!!
