AppleInsider:

Apple service providers who specialize in selling and servicing Macs have told AppleInsider that the media center iMac enclosure and internals are far less elegant than the model it replaces, requiring that technicians gain entry to the machine by removing the face of the computer (rather than the rear). Additionally, the only system component in the computer to remain user-servicable is memory.

So, okay, my iMac doesn’t have an integrated iSight, or Front Row, but it’s the final revision of a better design. I’ve come to understand that was the best possible situation when you’re dealing with Apple hardware — how long before they find a stupid design flaw crippling the new iMac?

Got to find solace where you can, when a Mac is obsolete after six months.
