Hehe, I just checked out the Apple.com site (no man, I swear, I don't go there regularly!). Saw the "new, redesigned" iMac. Cried and laughed for a little bit :)

What do you think the new iMac (iMac) looks like?

P.S. Bump at will =)

<< it'd be fun to try to modify into a great computer. >>



LMFAO!!

LOL!!

Too bad you have to shell out big bucks even before you begin to modify it:Q:frown::frown::disgust:


Now if it did have:
ddr memory
geforce 3 ti500
100GB HD
4-channel or DD 5.1 or similar sound
bigger screen(or an option for a bigger one 22'' cimemaHEHE;);)
A/V imputs(besides fire...for satelite etc.)
TV tuner
of some sort


Then and only then would I buy it. It isn't so bad right now though. A geforce2 mx will play RETURNTOCASTLEWOLFENSTEIN? Hmm..I'll stick with mine for now.. I think it "may" suffice.




Apple isn't bad, they just don't let you get the "WHOLE INCHILADA" like I can with my pc....I am comparing my PC ONLY TO THIS NEW IMAC thingy...

Like I said, apple isn't bad, they just don't let you have "everything in their desgns. If they had all that which i sted, I would shell our big buck in an instant just so I could have all that, without the beige box...although my Antec 1030 is spacious...

It reminds me of the pixar table lamp animation or pehaps a japanese manga computer character.

What if the "neck" breaks? It doesn't look very reliable... Then you have to ship both pieces to Apple... I wouldn't want to put that bucket on my desk anyway.

People will be like, "LET'S GO PLAY FOOTBALL!"

I wonder if Apple did any consumer research, because only 12% of you think it's the sexiest computer you can have. But then again, what do you geeks know about real beauty?! :)

Just kidding. I'm a geek myself. My VB source code turns me on.

I voted "...sexiest...", but yea it looks like a lamp. Apple is pushing the computer into the realm of art and eventually the computers we all know and love will follow suit in some fashion. Apple is going to sell those IMacs like crazy.

Still, it looks like a pretty fun thing to swing around and hit people on the head with (well, after taking the LCD and selling it).

Looks like a lamp. I'd worry about the moving arm becoming loose after a period of time. Limited internal expandability, too (not all of us want external devices cluttering things up). How do you upgrade the monitor? I guess "limited" is the word that comes to mind when I look at this PC.

It is an innovative design though...and with a unix os, pretty cool i guess.

I'll have to go with a table lamp. But there isn't much wrong with creative thinking! :)

I reckon it is actually very sexy....it's a huge step up from boring beige boxes :)

It's an expression of taste and for the up-market people, it will be highly desirable. I wouldn't buy one, because of it's limited upgradibility, but I know many people will!

Good on ya Apple! :)

I think aluminum cases look better than that thing. Also, you can buy something from ColorCases.com if you want to get really creative - without sacrificing cooling or upgrading possibilities.
