Is anyone excited about the prospect of new iMacs?

With all this iPhone news, it seems like that Mac has taken less importance in the Apple rumor mill. But supposedly a new brushed aluminum iMac, around 2" thick and with screen sizes starting at 20", will be released soon.
I was never a fan of this G5 iMac's form factor, but this thing could look hot, given the description. Anyone else excited by this?

I'm excited by the idea that Apple might update its desktop line at all, yes.

Not really. I have enjoyed the "surprise" of new iMac designs over the years, but I think one that is just an iPhone looking computer will be a let down.
I actually hope is something really different. (they are supposed to think that way)

I guess the thinner size might be nice, but if I were buying a Desktop I wouldn't really care much about how it looked (at least, as far as white vs. metal goes).
Just me...

I agree that Macs can get pretty boring when their design is little more than an iPod writ large. I always felt that the G5 iMac was just an iPod stretched out a bit. This also goes for the Mac mini.
I find it odd that they would made the case out of brushed aluminum, I thought that design fad ended years ago.

You've seen the current range of the Macbook Pro, right? 
Personally I love the current iMacs. All screen.
