You can always get a hard drive to plug in if you want. Avoid Microsoft-based things like the plague that they are.
Have you investigated something running Linux? You may find it is cheaper and easier to get along with than you expected.

50 year old geek here. I like Mac myself, but there are a gazillion different types. Just about any new Mac or PC will let you do most things you would want to do with a computer like word processing, email, web, drawing, movies, etc. Try a few and pick the one you like. There is absolutely no reason to pay much attention to the geeky stuff. If you think a pink computer would be neat, pick a nice pink one and don’t feel you have to talk about how fast it is or how much memory it has – just brag that it’s pink! Your preferences are your own and it what appeals to you that matters, not to the geek behind the counter.

All Mac’s support firewire (apple’s invention) plus USB so going with a G5 is the way to go. You can buy an external Firewire HDD or a USB hard drive.
Though it also depends what you wawnt it for. If you want it for games, then go PC, if you want it for school, graphics, or normal business matters then a Mac is great

I wasn’t sure what you meant by “no seperate hard drive” but I took a look at the G5 and I assume you mean how it’s monitor is built right onto the computer, so it’s all 1 piece. No, as far as I know you wont find this with any PC, except laptops and tablet PCs. You can find some cases, however, that are quite small, and a monitor could easily fit on top of them.
Edit: after some more searching I actually did find one pc like this, by sony. http://www.i4u.com/article5063.html Very rare, though, it’s the first one I’ve seen. Called an all-in-one PC

Personally I wouldn’t go with a Mac unless you do intese video editing because Windows pc’s have a lot more software and support right now plus it is difficult to get certain programs to work with a mack but not always you should go strictly on your own preference but I prefer a Windows XP Professional computer standard windows based with 1 hard disk drive in the tower. Most PC’s selling now only come with 1 hard disk drive typically 40-250 Gigabytes depending on the overall price and features. I would go with a HP Because they are ranked #1 in customer service and tech support by JD Power and Associates. Plus you get a standard 1 year warranty VS. Dell’s 90 days.

I disagree with the Linux guy. If you’re a person who doesn’t enjoy command line operating systems and annoyingly complicated processes to run Windows programs, Linux is not for you.
If you want a seperate hard drive, you can buy one for relatively little money, which still comes out to less than the extra cost of an Apple and the added acessibility of a PC.
I reccommend a Dell or HP machine. Dell can be kind of lame sometimes, but they’re cheap and if you know what you’re doing you can come out ahead in both performance and cost. HP is okay too but more expensive, but they’re very media friendly.
