I remember the VESA mount as a bonus feature when the iMac G5 was unveiled. But to this date, I haven't heard much in terms of people actually mounting their iMac on the wall.

Has anyone done this? Would love to see pics of this set up too!

Nobody's done it because Apple hasn't shipped the iMac VESA adapter yet. According to the Apple Store online, it'll ship mid-December.

Isnt Vesa a 'standard' type fitting though? I have a Sony LCD TV, that is Vesa compliant. So I thought the idea was that any Vesa bracket/fixing will work?

While im here, obviously a G5 iMac cant go flat against a wall though, and it has ventilation slots back there.. But an inch or 2 away from the wall would be fine.

Correct, VESA is a standard mount. The iMac does not have a VESA mount on the back. It only has a mount for the foot that it comes with. The iMac VESA Adapter replaces the foot with a VESA-compatible mounting plate, to which you then attach a VESA-compatible stand/arm/mount of your choice.

I wonder who will be the first to put iMacs into his walls. Must be quite cool.

As soon as the adapter ships, I think I'll purchase a new iMac and mount it to the wall with the bluetooth option. That will be hot.

I have a customer with a VESA mount on order. I'll see if I can get pics once he's got it set up.
