That's killer dude! I have a 20" iMac though I wish I had the money for the 24" (I wanted a 20" the day the Core 2 Duos were added to the iMacs >_<).

You should share some photos!
drdarkman
dont worry about the photos, i'll get some up for ya. but nothing on the insides of it or anything. i'm not that crazy to do something like that. first need to get bootcamp installed, then setup parallels. Is it true that parallels doesn't support 3d when your in the mac os using windows?

awesome dude. personally though, i'm waiting for the next gen in october smile.gif

Startup keystrokes:

C - Starts up from a CD

Hold it down before the Apple screen appears.

and one more quick ?. when i'm in wow, and i want to switch back to the desktop. what are the keys to do so? for instanace, when i'm on the other comp, i just hit the windows key. I've tried on the mac by using command + tab, cont + tab, shift + tab, alt + tab. but i can't seem to find the right combo. any help?

I don't think you can access the desktop while playing WoW. You can set it to run in window mode.

AFAIK you can press cmd+H to hide WoW when in fullscreen

It's more of a design wait. They are redesigning the iMacs so it will be obvious if you have an "outdated" mac or a "new" mac.

If you don't wait for the new models, strangers will point at you in the street and exchange knowing glances. "His Form Factor is so last week."
drdarkman
hey i'm just happy that i got one. i dont care what it looks like. pics soon to follow.
