So, despite the fact that I wanted to order my new 24″ iMac the day they were released..events conspired to prevent me from doing so… until today.

My new iMac has been ordered and is being built (at least, I hope its being built). Here’s what I ended up going with:

2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM – 2x1GB

NVIDIA GEFORCE 7600 GT w/256

250GB Serial ATA Drive

SuperDrive 8X (DVDR-DL/CD-RW)

Kybd, Mighty Mse & Mac OS X

I ended up upgrading the RAM via Apple because, oddly enough, it was actually cheaper to do that, then to buy the RAM from one of the normal 3rd parties I use…it actually saved me like 50 or 60 bucks ordering it from Apple.

And of course, I did all this the day before an Apple special event….

Wonder if I’ll be canceling the order in the morning, to order whatever new toy Apple introduces along with the iTunes Movie Store…
