Got the 3GHz 27-inch (non-quadcore). It has 4 GB of 1067 MHz RAM and is running an ATI Radeon HD 4670 video card. I've got a 1 TB hard disk in it, also.
This thing is HUGE. It is the biggest monitor I've EVER typed upon. It won't fit on my desk, so I have it on a separate folding table. I've also never set up a computer, from the box, so quickly. Basically, there's the monitor, the keyboard, and the mouse, and that's it...one cord to plug in (the power cord), as the keyboard and mouse are bluetooth equipment. The keyboard is SMALL. I'm not used to using a keyboard without the numberpad and this may cause me issues when I try to game (yeah, I will definitely game on this system, via Parallels or VMWare Fusion).
A few pics:
Will supply pictures of the computer as soon as I'm done with the software updates.
EDIT:
Pics below
This one is next to a 15.4" Dell Inspiron that is a foot behind and to the left of the iMac. The screen on this thing is BIG!
The keyboard and mouse are bluetooth...no wires. Both take AA batteries, also. The mouse works sorta like the Macbooks' touchpad...this is a good mouse!
The box is mid-thigh to me and I'm 5'7". It weighs like 60ish lbs. and I had to carry this from the Apple Store in Fairfax to my car! The escalator was off, also! By the time I got to the car, I was almost dead. What's funny was the looks I was getting after I got this thing. People were staring...WTF, I guy can't go out and get a computer??
EDIT (2/21/10):
So far so good. I plugged in my printer and it was automatically detected (it's an HP DeskJet 4240 All-In-One). I had to add the HP drivers to my Macbook for the Macbook to see the printer properly, although that was awhile ago...I'm thinking that Snow Leopard has updated its printer driver set.
