So as far as customer service goes, they are pretty awesome. ]]>Dec 15th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/blu-ray-comes-to-the-imac-via-an-apogee-hdmi-to-mini-displayp/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/blu-ray-comes-to-the-imac-via-an-apogee-hdmi-to-mini-displayp/
It's not even the number of people having issues, it's the number of issues which astounds me:

Cracked screens
The whole computer DOA
Flickering screens
Screens with a varying color temperature from cool to warm
The computer making high-pitched "whines"

Not to mention for $300 more you could get the Core i5/7, which combined with SnowLeopard's GCD makes a powerfull workstation.
