19" LCD : maybe
FW800 : no - its a pro thing not for consumers
BT built-in : likely - everyone has a mobile phone
New Case : unlikely - this one does not really need revising. If they did though I would be interested as they would (as apple usually does) do a good job.
Faster proc : certain - the 800Mhz G4 is now so far out of date .... i think they would have a 1Ghz and a 1.25Ghz model.
Anything else? Yeah - a better gfx card set across the range. If they do redo the case I hoppe that they allow us to from now on access ALL of the RAM slots.

Well, that's not too far off the mark. In the past Apple has had about a 6 month product cycle. And why do you not think your iMac will last? Your computer will last until your needs out grow it. My "everyday" computer is a 3 year old P3 800 that I built myself (and she's not getting replaced until I can afford a Powerbook). Of course I don't push this machine hard but she does all I need her to do.

I tried playing UT2K3.
That is why.
If I can't play that... 🙁
Games in years ahead will be *way* past me.
A little bit, but not tons.
Basically I want upgradabality.
I want to replace the Video card, if not the CPU, the iMac does not allow me w/o massive ripping it to shreds.

If you wanted expandibility and/or upgradability why did you buy an iMac in the first place?

10.2.3 already sped it up significantly. I have an 800 Mhz Superdrive 15". Also check this FAQ if you don't like Mac OS X's speed:
