Brushed Aluminum iMacs in August?

ThinkSecret believes that the next generation iMac is in line for release in August with a brushed aluminum enclosure at only two inches thick:

The elegant new enclosure will somewhat resemble the current white iMac but is said to feature a shorter space below the actual display, where most of the internals are housed.


The new iMac is expected to be based on the Santa Rosa architecture and will only come in only 20" and 24" flavors with the 17" set to be discontinued.

Our Buyer's Guide notes that it has been 303 days since the last iMac update.

Sounds like getting rid of the "chin" is gonna make the new iMac half an inch thicker than it already is! To be honest, I'm not that keen on anodized/brushed whatever you want to call it aluminium. I'd actually be happy with a speed bump, double the memory, and a black option so long as you don't have to pay crazy money for black.

Oh, and a decent graphics card to play these new games we heard about at WWDC

Same here. I currently have a 2.0Ghz G5, and although there is NOTHING wrong with it, I just want a new Mac!

I personally like the brushed metal look (it looks fantastic on the Cinema Displays).

tis basically going to be macbook pro specs in a new aluminium enclosure, hence the new graphics card will likely be nvidia 8600m gt, maybe a slightly better one as a BTO option on 24 inch

I think it will be worth the wait. The Cinema Display look of the new iMacs will look awsome.

Imagine they make the GPU, HD and RAM easily replaceable.

Rich.
