Inside an armoir?

From a kitchen cabinet?

Fold out from some wall when in use, fold back flat when not?

On the ceiling over your bed?

Where's yours going?

On my desk. I'm boring

At least it'll take up less space than the gumdrop iMac I'm currently using.

on the celing above your bed?
That would be horrible to have to lay on your back and squint at a monitor on the celing.
Mine will be on my desk using the stand, dont really like the idea of hanging my computer anywhere.

bought the 20". for now it's going on the built-in shelf in my bedroom. it'll be hooked up to an eyeTV, so it'll function as my bedroom TV.

however, since i do live in san francisco where the next earthquake could easily spell the end of my new baby, the idea of a wall mount does sound pretty attractive. i'll wait to see what becomes available.

Does eyeTV allow you to hook game consoles? If so, I'd love to replace my gaming tv with one

you can, but you wont want to. there is a 1.5 second delay for everything displayed in the screen. for tv it doesnt matter, but for games--it does.

But just think of what you could be doing while you use your iMac!

it doesn't really matter about frps when your that far behind the action does it?

IS there any way to use the new iMac as a screen for console gaming?
