In replying to another post the thought occurred to me that Apple could easily go to a 23" HD in the next revision of the iMac G5. I think the design and engineers at least put in on the drawing board but the markerters are asking where does this fit in our product line at what price point.

Issues or not:
Heat wouldn't be a problem.
128 MB VRAM across the board is likely.
RAM limitation a factor
Price? $2499 would be hard to sell but how low could they go? $2299?
Would they keep it with only FW400 and 1 HD bay, pushing the prosumer video editors to a Powermac, or at least put FW800 in.

What do ya think, Rev B, C .. never?
If a group of mimes are miming a forest and one falls down, does he make a sound?
