I have a very similar dual 500 (Mystic) that I paid $900 for two years ago.
I added a 120GB WD hard drive and Superdrive to it.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fan noise. I have a Cube and a Powerbook as well and they are nearly silent.
I use it for games and as extra storage space so it's mostly powered down until I want to use it. The dual 500 is a great system though.

honestly. i question whether that is a better deal than the Mac mini. Mac mini will likely perform a bit better in many areas, has new graphics, smaller footprint, USB2, and a stronger software selection.
buttttttt.... duals are always fun. and its a great system none the less. have fun, im jealous
