Looks slightly nicer, but less practical. The design Apple came up with allows cooling of the processor, angling of the screen, and also fits a DVD/CD drive in there.
Personally, I think the design Apple have announced is quite a remarkable feat of miniturisation. Wonder how long before we see copycat PC designs!?

Here's a shot of the inside, just to show how neat and tidy Apple have managed to keep it. Just compare it to the usual mass of cables, ribbon connectors and razor sharp edges on the inside of most desktop PCs:

Here you can watch a stream of the Apple Expo in Paris:

(If you've seen WWDC '04 then you only really need to watch the last 10 minutes are so, for the iMac G5)

The new iMac, as seen in these photos taken at the San Francisco Apple Store, places the computer's innards behind a 17-inch or 20-inch flat-panel monitor.

Apple's claims that its new iMac G5 computer is the worlds thinnest desktop computer, but it may also be the most user-serviceable.
One thing that has frustrated more computer-savvy Mac users over the years has been the inability to see "under the hood" on consumer Macs. iBooks, iMacs, and eMacs have presented varying degrees of trouble for Geeks who wanted to upgrade hard drives, processors, etc. Well, Apple has taken an interesting step with the new iMac: the user can replace almost anything in the computer but the speakers. Users can access and replace everything from RAM to the power supply and motherboard. Check out official Apple documentation on the subject. What's more, LEDs on the motherboard will aid in troubleshooting. One indicates voltage (you're getting power to the computer), one indicates proper power levels (you're getting enough power), one indicates that the connection between the computer and the LCD display is sound, and one indicates that your machine is not overheating. See documentation for that, too. Wow. Is this a way for Apple to cut back on repair costs? Is this Apple's way of catering to geeky customers? Who knows? I think it's a solution that costs little in risk for the consumer, and goes a long way in rewarding the savvy customer. I wonder what sort of modding subculture might result from this. The first thing I'd like to see is someone open two of these up and put them together, like a two-sided gaming console for head-to-head (quite literally) game play.
