xMac?

That's interesting--where did you hear this?

On a completely unrelated topic: do you frequently take hallucinogens?

I heard that the xMac is $500 and is a version of the iMac only headless.

My thought:

Some Core 2 Quad processor
2 hard drive bays
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT standard (upgradeable to ATI Radeon 3850, 3870 and Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX/Ultra)
Crossfire and SLi Support
250GB Hard Drive standard
2GB of RAM
One Superdrive
$1799

Would be a gamer Mac machine.

Yeah, because gaming is the forte of a Mac ... not to mention all the games readily available for Mac OS X ;)
 
Wait a minute. Where did you hear about this?

You said it would be a headless iMac.... But the iMac is only a head. Without the head part of an iMac there is nothing but a keyboard and a mouse.

Think about it.

Not justifying the rumor, headless means no built in LCD display. Form factor would be different.

Oh! Look at that the link is dead! Guess this guy was high and then deleted his mistakes! Search xMac on Google, it's weird.

Still, I don't think Apple would release a computer that cheap. :(

The link is dead because it is from 3 years ago prior to the mac mini release.

This 'Headless Mac' is in fact the Mac Mini and it was released 2005.

So, there you have it.
:p
