Apple Pie?

I'm very curious to see what Apple will introduce in January. Think Secret seems to think a new cheapo headless iMac is in the works.... It's an interesting idea whose time has come, although I think the reason Apple has avoided this in the past is that they like to control the whole Mac "Experience". Will their reputation suffer if people have a less than stellar experience with slower (a.k.a., cheaper) components. As a Dual G5 PowerMac owner, I know Macs can be awesome. We'll see...
