[QUOTE="Kyomii, post: 189490, member: 7328"] Snap. I have the revision A iMac too, no problems whatsoever and had it for 15 months now. The difference between the original G5 iMacs (like ours) is that they were designed to be user-serviceable, and the iSight models (G5 or Intel) are not designed this way. This means that if, for example, our Rev A's need a midplane, then Apple can send us one to fit, but the iSight models would have to go back to an Apple tech for repair. I don't know why Apple changed this in all the iSight models. However, I am happy with mine, and do not intend to change it for a good while yet :) If I was going to change, I would probably go with the intel, but I would wait for the next revision at least.
