I went with the 17"--since I will use the thing mostly for writing and surfing, I don't really need the huge display. I don't edit video or make my own movies.
I chose the midrange model, as usual. Added RAM and the wireless mouse/keyboard.
As soon as I saw that thing, I knew I was a goner. I guess I'm ruled by visuals, but I think it is such a neat-looking machine. My home office is on the small side--it's a converted third bedroom--and the ability to bounce the tower, the monitor, and my Mac-incompatible laserjet will free up so much space. My ideal office is one of those Crate and Barrel blond-wood-and-gauze-drapes impossibilities. I'll never have that at the current location, but the G5 is my babystep in that direction.
I will lose the use of the aforementioned old laserjet, but my newer all-in-one should be able to pick up the slack.

Did you get the 17 or 20 inch model?
