Black Mac?

I have to agree.. I think you're wasting your time. I believe there's 3rd party companies that will paint your iMac if you want.
They have?
Well, since they've not offered alternative colors on any computers since the original iMacs, I don't think it's applicable.

All black computers are like dell's. Apple is famous for it's white and blue color combination - I don't think they'll be straying from that any time soon really.
I agree a black iMac could look nice, think iPod Nano/grand piano but it still ain't gonna happen. At least not anytime soon.

Yeah. Colorware does em - but I think it looks ass without black keys and black wires etc..

Doesn't Colorware give you a keyboard too? As for the wires, looking at the iPod, if Apple *did* do it, I somehow doubt they'd make the wires black...

Agreed.
Kind of looks like the old IBM all-in-one when its black. Dont really like it.
So why is the dock only available in white?The Grood said:
Also, look at my avatar, this is taken from my iBook. It's from the back of the screen, at night. Black enough?!?
I thin Apple's super-glossy black looks just as slick and high-end as their super-glossy white.
A black iMac and/or iBook/MacBook seems like a possibility to me--especially as Mac sales grow. A certainty? No. Soon? I doubt it. But I do think it could happen some time and would be very cool. (With black keyboard and lighted letters? Even cooler!)
Also, EVENTUALLY Apple will do something very different visually. It won't be white and metal FOREVER. Black would be in keeping with their minimalist trend, while still being visually fresh.
There has been no news of anything like this though.

iBooks never were, but PowerBooks were black for a time.howesey said:

Iv seen a Black 17" PowerBook (£6k) and an iPod with a Silver back (£5k)

I think the black iMac could well happen. Sooner or later the white look is going to get old and tired, and the fact Apple already ship a black iPod is a good indicator it's not too far away.
