I will have the same problem when I pick up one of these babies (still on the fence between this and the 20"). I have an awesome, huge L desk w/ hutch and armoire that had a ton of room- used to have a dual screen setup and laptop AND room for my drafting board. Unfortunately, it does not fit in my apartment- so my parents get to have it for a while.
I am temporarily using the smallest, cheapest desk I could find ($20 at Ikea!) and it sucks! I will be building a new desk to fit the wall that my little desk is facing.Nice pics, btw!

The iMac or the girlfriend?
The iMac is definately the cheaper of the two... and it has more inputs!

edit: I do believe that the modern courtship process (in the US, at least) has become too focused on money (dinner, gifts & shopping). The expectations and cost of dating are exceedingly high (if for example you dated only on Fridays, and spent a minimal $50 on dinner & plans... in a year you could buy a new 24" iMac). The second part of the comment is blatantly sexist and of course was not used genuinely.

question about the screen thickness
Hi CrEsTo and congratulations for your iMac 24".
To you or anybody with the new iMac 24", I have a question: could you please tell precisely how thick is the screen. I remember reading that the 20" was a little thicker than the 17", and I was wondering about the 24". On Apple website, the depth includes now the foot of the iMac so it doesn't help.
Thanks and once again congratulations.
Enjoy

Hi Yannick, it's about 1 1/2 inches.
Thanks
Thanks for your answer. It will be a long time before I can see one in real and I was curious about it. It is thin.

I still find it incredulous that people would buy an iMac that big. The typical user will probably get fed up with the computer about 2-3 years after ownership and a screen that size would easily last 5-6 years.

Many people sell their iMacs on or hand them down. When I did that with mine, I didn't weep over the fact that I also had to sell the screen.

I'm going to buy one. When I feel that I need a new computer 2-3 years down the line, I'll move it into the bedroom and use it as a DVD/media streamer - takes up less room than a LCD screen and separate DVD player/satellite receiver.

Well Im thinking of buying the 24" because I'll also use it as a TV instead of having a big silver box (my current TV) in my room.
BTW: does anyone know if the EyeTV (Hybrid) can also be viewed in fullscreen?? With great quality of course
