I applaud Apple for that one. Same price range, but much more for the same price than the old line. And they seem to be very competitive, too.

M51DPS:
Interesting that they didn't have a system bus similar to the PowerMac (i.e. half the speed of the processor) and the maximum RAM is much less than that of the PowerMac, but it looks great. Also very thin, I wonder how far off a G5 laptop is....

WMD:
My biggest gripe with the iMac was lack of a fan.

It has a kind-of fan now.

I'm sold.  :D   Now to rob a store of $1300...  :(

bedouin:
The most attractive thing about the new iMac to me is what seems to be easily replaceable parts, maybe even the CPU in the future (though heat is a major concern there).  Check out the last photo here.  Much easier than cracking open an eMac or previous generation iMac.

M51DPS:
There were a number of PowerMacs that shipped with their CPU on a removable daughter-card. It made things much easier to upgrade later on (like from a 603 to a G3 if you wanted). Maybe Apple should do that again.
