I checked a month or so ago and they were getting $800-$900 for the 24".
IMO you don't need a clean room, just not a dirty room. I only had a couple specs of dust on the inside of the glass when I did mine in a not so clean room.
It was easily resolved.

Don't you have to buy the data plan if you buy the 3G from ATT? Or am I understanding this wrong?
They are out of stock of the refurb 64GB 3G gen 1 ipads. Selling the refurb 32GB for $429 as well.
No Service Commitment. Min. $14.99/mo. data plan required.

Personally, having owned a mac and windows machine, I prefer windows because it feels much more open/less restricted. Either one is solid, though.

Don't know how old that "test" is, but they are saying they used CS3 (released Sept 2003), CS5 is now the standard, CS6 on the way. IIRC CS3 was 32 bit only and was out when XP/Vista was the norm for PC.

Interesting, I didn't know that the current Macbook Pros supported 450Mb Wireless N. The new iMacs do too. I also didn't know that the current Apple base stations supported it.

Fawkers....Now I'm jealous.
(The iMac on Thursday also got a firmware upgrade, enabling it to use its 6Gbit/sec throughput on the drives. That throughput matches the SATA 3.0 specification used in the latest SSDs, paving the way for the iMac to get the utmost from future SSDs.)

I love the new 27", what scares me with this setup, monitor goes out, can't easily grab an old one in the closet and change it out.

I may be a different story, but I've never gone through a monitor before a new computer. And now I'm basically all notebooks: macbook pro, macbook air, dell netbook and you're in the same situation with them if the screen goes out.

yea, same thing scares me, but I guess it didnt' bother me as much because I have the MBP in case I ever need to have the iMac repaired. And with my current backup solution in place, getting my data [hopefully] shouldn't be a problem.

Tell me about it, I was given my old work laptop after seven something years. I was going to set it up for my son. As soon as I reformatted the drive, damn monitor went out.
