ok im pretty sure the problem is where the metal base connects to the computer. When adjusting the screen angle it makes a little noise and is more resistant than before. Would this be something easy to fix?

On a pre-iSight iMac, you could simply take of the back cover (wouldn't void the warranty) and have a look at the hinge, if something's wrong. Unfortunately, Apple decided to entirely change the built up of the iMacs with iSight (G5 and Core Duo) so that you can't attain the hinge without taking out everything. And, opening it would simply void your warranty...

I would bring it to an Apple repair center, and have them check it.

You should bring it to an Apple certified repair center. I'm not from the US, so I don't know if compusa's repair service is Apple certified or not. If not, they aren't allowed to open an Apple computer that still is under warranty.

I agree with Avalon. Have it looked at by a real Apple repair center. I would not trust CompUSA with it.
