Okay guys you're not going to believe this! Last weekend I had a fight with my girl. Wanted to throw her out of my house: girfriend pulls my flat screen of the TV-table --> LCD ruined! Then the unleashed demon throws the glass plate of the table in the living room towards my 27" iMac! Poor thing falls from my office desk. Nothing on it! I put it back and go upstairs to call the cops. She threw it of the desk once more! Except for a few bumps and scratches, still nothing on it! I put it back again and push her away, girfriend throws it through the living room! This time, the glass breaks, the foot got bent and the chassis is damaged aesthetically. Believe it or not, the poor thing still works!! So now I am in need of a new chassis to move the parts in it... Anyone? Tried iFixit: nothing. The local apple dealer says this: sure we can deliver: 300 euro plus 4 hours labour to relocate the parts. So I say: don't bother: I will build over parts myself. They say: no you won't because we don't sell these spare parts to customers. Only if we do it.... Althoug I don't like this, I can understand. Apple wouldn't want an iMac chassis getting sold with PC parts in it... Anyone can help me here?
Meanwhile I purchased another one which has the newer i5 cpu@3,1Ghz while the older and abused model had the first i7@2,8GhZ. Benchmarked, the newer i5 model seems faster than the older i7 Only the thread test is faster on the i7.
I'd apprecieate help!
