Re: The new iMac G5

i quite like it, though its lost the funky swivel of the old imac it is darn small.
I am supprised they've managed to squeeze the toast'y g5 in there, that must have some special cooling, that or its an equivelent mobile chip (ppc970 aka g5 is very very similar to the amd a64)
For those saying its hughe, huh ? the entire machine is in that screen yes its twice the thickness of a normal screen but think about, they've got the entire computer in thickness of an lcd space. The cd/dvd draw alone will require that sort of space alone.

Its a traditional thing for an imac to be an all in one unit, put this up against an orignal imac (crt) and it'll look miniscule.

I would be worried about it clogging up with dust and overheating as the old g4 imac filled up with the stuff and had some issues, and the workstation g5 has overheating problems as it is even with its extravegent cooling system
