If you're buying a new iMac, which model will you be buying? I'll probably be getting the 20-inch model because of the horrifically steep $400 price hike in Australia. You lucky Americans got a price cut.

I'm also in Australia and have ordered the 20-inch ... pretty expensive! I hope it is good! It's my first Mac! :D

24" 2.93GHz iMac, hopefully it will arrive by the end of this week, if not, next week for sure! My first Mac ever, and I am extremely excited! Getting a student discount, too, so it will cost me 1597 EUR. :D

None, I have a nice Mac Pro. And when that machine needs to be replaced with a new one, chances are that I won't buy from Apple anymore.

I'm still not 100%, but I think I'm going to go for the 2.66GHz 24". I just don't think I need to spend more on the next model up when I don't do anything particularly intensive.

Yeah the 4-6 is going to feel like a long time but in the long run its well worth it, I'd rather wait for the faster hardware than get one now with the specs I don't want.

A week is too much for me:D I don't need 4850 so GT130 suits nicely for me

Going to get the high-end one. 24" 3.06 GHz, 1.0 TB HDD, 4GB RAM ATI RADEON 4850, Numeric keyboard and Mighty Mouse w/Apple Care. Can't wait! :D

Needs another option on the poll

(i) Previous Gen 2008 iMac via special clearance prices as the new ones are waaaaay too expensive!

3.06Ghz 24" 2008 model at £565 less than the 2009 24" 2009 model.
