Or for any other iMacs, but esp the 24". For little extra cost this would be a great selling point. Connect consoles to it and use it as an external display for a laptop, mac pro etc.

A product that solved, HD TV, DVR, DVD burner/recorder, TV recording, and personal computer all in one... WOW !!!!!

LCD technology is advancing fairly quickly now and the prices are dropping alongside. By the time your Mac's internals are "obsolete", the screen will be also. A few years ago you would not have been able to buy a 24" panel for the cost of the iMac today.
According to an article I found on Digg you can do HD video in from your set top box via firewire.
