There hasn't been much substantive chatter about the new iMacs, about the only thing rumored that's truly *new* is the anti-glare screen and Intel Ivy Bridge chip. Otherwise I'm only expecting the standard CPU speed bump, GPU bump, and internal drive bump. Maybe a BTO SSD option? eSata would be great, but sadly it seems Apple's sticking with T-bolt. Not much out there for T-bolt. Still.
Of course, if they made a larger unit, say 30", I'd be reeeeeally tempted to go for that, moa powah toda max!
