The 27" iMac's are supposedly a bargain for what you get, aside from the recent DOA issues.

I've had my parent's running on a 10.5.8 system for over a year now without issue, they are limited users, and i administer the system, as for being in my right mind, well i'm not gonna argue that one.
i agree that a computer with an excellent wide gamut, led non-edge backlit, ips monitor for 2g's isn't bad, but the video system is weak, un-upgradable soldered in laptop junk, and consider that anything but the extrememly large resolution is going to look like smashed anus on such a monitor it seems odd that they'd pair it with such low power video cards that can barely handle today's 3d apps at 1920x1200 let alone their actual native resolutions. if it were possible to run the monitor as a slave to a properly powerful video editing station then it would be a deal worth talking about, as it stands it's a beautiful monitor attached to a crippled video interface that you're going to be stuck with as a paper weight when you actually try to get some performance out of it.
