So I currently have a powerbook G4 and mainly I use Live 6 and Reason 3.
and I'm looking at getting (preferably) an iMac as there's already a screen with it, and I have a spare dell 2407 24" widescreen monitor... so... would an iMac be suffice for audio work for years to come? (As I said, I use Live and Reason 3, both are universal, as well as Audacity, SoundConverter, and Soundtrack) or would it be overkill, and I should get a mac mini pimped out? or perhaps spend a bit extra and get a mac pro? Im sure I wouldn't need THAT much more power (as i do all my work at the moment on the g4 powerbook) I dont know... suggestions? thoughts? opinions? anyone with a 24" imac out there?

I heard the fan, but I can't tell you if it's louder/quieter than the G5… The imac G5 I've met some time ago ddn't seem to be noisy at all. Maybe by checking out the tech documentation on both models? It's available on the Apple website. You should have figures of how loud it it idle at least.
