I get 20 and 3/4 inches from desk surface to the top of the computer. One factor you may need to take into account is distance from the screen. At this size, I have it farther back than I had my 24" iMac.

Wow. I have my current 22" monitor 38" away from me. My iMac won't be able to sit any further back. I guess I will need to grow longer arms.

and.. of course the spot I had planned for it can only accomodate up to 20 1/2 " height...
 
It's NOT a touchscreen! But it looks brilliant!

2 questions for you:
  • How old is your daughter (mine also had a broken arm round that ages)
  • I like the photo but... is it really a good place to have your computer? I mean, where do you put your legs while working at it?

Ours must be on the same track, however UPS isn't showing the Louisville yet, but I know that's where it goes from Alaska (I live near Nashville) and have a friend with the same thing. Hoping its at the post by afternoon so I can just go get it!
 
If so many people are saying they got their 27" iMacs, why no unboxing videos on youtube yet? Why no bench scores...just a bunch of "It's here!" I'm skeptical.

I will gladly make a super cheesed out unpacking video just for you when mine comes in tomorrow or Monday.
