I'm up and running (partially) on the iMac now and a full review is still to come.No I am waiting for you
Is it worth going to the 24"? If so why?
I will say that I was very hesitant about getting the 24". Why? Because when I got to the Apple store, they had none of the new iMacs on display, only the "old" ones. I compared a 20" and 24" since they were sitting right next to each other. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the 20", but I have a 20" monitor to go along with my PC and felt that it was too small. This was one of my reasons for going with the 24". I will say that this thing is huge though, I could have definitely bought the 20" and been just fine, in retrospect, and saved a few hundred dollars. However, this is not to be confused as to whether or not it was worth it, because it was, hands down. I'll post more once I've gotten OS X back to how it is on my laptop.
What config did you go for? Was the 2.8 available in the store? Take some pictures, let us know how the video card is running with some decent software. 
I got the base model 24". I don't need the 2.8GHz processor and according to the staff in the store, the 2.8GHz processors will only be available online. I have a bunch of pictures that I took and I will post them in a bit.What config did you go for? Was the 2.8 available in the store?

mac mini returned.
As i mentioned earlier i bought a mac mini online on monday.
Apple has agreed to refund me, and take it back at no charge.
I would prefer a new one. but i can just order it.
Apple is protecting their upgrade info too much.
This model shouldn't have been shipped.
They are just being silly and not enviro friendly, ( all that wasted shipping )
Please Apple, don't let this keep happening. if ur gonna upgrade a model, delay all orders by 14 days, let ppl speculate.

i'm glad you got what you wanted... however, in my opinion you've got it wrong... apple is trying to sell hardware, most people wouldn't care... they're still selling the old iMacs in the stores even after the new ones are announced.. they want to get rid of that inventory.
