refub 3.0.6 with extras

[beerglass007]

Hi all

So my refub 24" 3.06 came today and instead of 2GB and 500MB its fitted with 4GB and 1TB disk.

Is this the norm?

I was going to send it back, but its quite nice 8)

Im finding the 24" alittle high. Is this normal at first ?

People have often said the iMac feels a bit high to them. I guess its really how your sitting and desk layout etc.

Me personally, I don't mind it at all.

By the way, congrats on the extra options, just turn and run my man and never speak about it again... to anyone!!! LOL

Are you sure you got the 8800 GS and not the 130 GT? Do you have 3 USB ports on the back or 4?

That's what I'm wondering. Lucky if the OP paid for the previous generation, but received the latest one.

I wonder if this would cause I problem if he were to ever need to bring it in for service.

As long as you were able to register your iMac without a glitch after you first started it, you should be ok. Congrats! This happens to a lucky few who order refurbs from Apple.

Hi all

No its a 8800GS card but is showing as 1TB HD and 4GB DDR2 800MHZ Ram

So yes got a good deal.

But i'm finding it hard to use. It feels to big, the screen is massive and feels very high.

I had a 22" monitor 16:9 hooked up to my MBP and this now feels weird.

Dare I say, I was thinking about returning the Imac...am I mad...??

YES! Keep it!

It's gonna take a week or 2 to get used to the bigger screen. I went from a 12" PowerBook to a 15" MacBook Pro and I had the same feelings as you about adjusting from a smaller screen to a bigger one. Now the 15" feels normal to me and I can see myself going from 15" to 17" in the near future.
