If you don't mind me asking, if it's two weeks old, why are you selling? Welcome to the site btw.

Have decided to take the plunge to Mac and got this in US 2 weeks ago. As it is virtually untouched and I have not yet converted to Mac and the fact I normally only upgrade about every 4-5 years, I want to get into the new iMac line (slightly faster CPU) to get the best available apple/mac start... It is not that I have to sell it, just want to see if someone might be interested to save some dirhams and give me a restart opportunity...

Ok, that's fair enough, but you realize there is not that much difference between the old and new models, right? A little bit faster CPU, faster and more cache, and you can get a bigger/faster graphics card as an option. But if you want absolutely the fastest, I guess that's the way to go.

Well, I agree. Unfortunately I have always been a paper spec freak, I would assume with the mentioned changes it should be approx 10-20% faster, not noticeable for normal work. But when I start to do HD video editing, or dual boot camp for quake etc, it might be slightly nicer...
Also, the option for nVidia 8800 is very interesting, now using 8600 on my PC which runs nicely... Still messy to get these customizations done, as you will have to get them directly from apple ...
Bidders welcome!
