Hey all... looks like someone disassembled the intel iMac. I couldn't find a post about this, but I don't have good search skills.

The original G5 was so pretty inside. Everything Rev B and up is just hideous.

I definitely agree with that. This looks like it was a rush job.

the Rev B iMac's (like mine) are just like the rev A inside, truly amazing. The Rev C is where it got horrible and you could only upgrade the RAM on the bottom of the computer.

The Core Duo chip is socketed-so it could be upgradable in the future.

Wow, the intel imac certainly has more unused space than the other imacs.
I also think that the first imacs were beautiful inside. I hope the new powermacs (or whatever they call them) don't look crappy inside.
Remember apple, beautiful inside, beautiful inside!
