I completely agree. If you've ever read anything about the development of the NeXT platform you'd know jobs is beside himself about cosmetics.

Well, the picture clearly shows a curved screen. Not exactly likely to be a 'flat' monitor of any sort.
Why do people keep begging for 16MB video in desktops? The last run of iMacs have 16 and PowerMacs have 32.

At least the creator of this image could have faked a background to make it look like a 'spy photo.' The rear foot is ripped directly of a studio display. Let's all thank Apple for painstakingly uniform product angles so that a novice photoshop user could waste our time.
Patience is a virtue. Two more days.

While I agree that this particular image is probably a fake, (and way too front-heavy) I think the idea has something going for it.
Specifically, I think that this type of design is very plausible. It's tight, but there's just enough space in there for a short-neck CRT and the CD-ROM(/whatever) drive. Fitting the motherboard around those two is trivial -- have you seen the size of Apple's recent mobos?
It also fits with all the rumors -- not an LCD iMac, but close in concept. After all, I don't think most people are about LCDs per se as much as they are about the space savings and "coolness" that they provide. This provides the best of both worlds -- uncannily slim, but still affordable.

sorry folks...
The front of the iMac picture is IDENTICAL to the front of the "flower power" iMac at the top of http://www.apple.com/imac/ down to the shading and picture size.

Re: IDENTICAL
You're right... It's obviously (and positively) taken from that flower iMac image. It's, therefore, a fake.
Somewhat dissapointing. (Tho all I care about personally is a new G4 tower!!)
