17" and 19" inch iMacs Coming in 3Q

ikioi writes "It looks like Apple will have 17" and 19" flat panel iMacs later this year." It's funny- the publicity photos of the 15 inch macs really make it look a lot nicer then it is. I finally saw one up close a few weeks ago- the arm and screen is super smooth, but the base looks like a cheap toy. That said, larger screens for the iMac definitely push it into a new territory... not sure if it would convince me to buy one, but it sure would add magic shell to the ice cream.

No offence 'n all that, but the iMac looks... how should I put this "not serious"? or "gay"?...
It looks like a stupid art-nouveau sculpture that belongs on the desk or in the livingroom of a damn Trillionaire with a passion for kitch-futuristic-bubblegummy-art...

a computer needs to look RUGGED! :D prefferably with a dented case, or no case at all (although that could have negative influences on the air circulation for the cooling system). You want a computer that looks cool? Well it should have decorations of your own on it: for example, my monitor has a cool "Commodore 64" badge on it and some nifty stickers, and my case has a shitload of writings/stickers/sticky-stuff on it. This looks way cooler than any Mac you buy from the store in a fruity color and a "design" look.

my 2 cents on the Mac issue

ps: don't gimme any bullshut about the mac hardware, I'm talking about the looks

Well I hate the new iMac. Only a total idiot would value form over function with computer equipment, and dont even get me started on making a machine with a removable media drive without the ability to manually eject it.
