| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | techcafe | it was evident from the black scuff marks on outside box, that the system had been transported either face-down or face-up (not upright, as it should have been), so the couriers are laying the box on its side and piling other boxes ON TOP of the iMac |

| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 2TB | Glass cracked, lower left, apx 3 inches. But computer still starts up OK, so I'll use it until the nearest Apple Store gets me a replacement.
