no blu-ray built-in. what a waste for such brilliant screen.
what's worse is that OSX doesn't even support blu-ray external drive.
to me, iMac doesn't do the one thing I want it to do, what a bag of hurt

Really, it doesn't do a think you want to do? So what you want to do is not done in Windows, OSX, or Linux?
Odd. Being this computer runs all those OS's, I find it hard to understand what it is you want to do.
FYI: In windows, you can play BD's on an external player on this computer, just like you can on any computer. I have no desire however to watch DB moves on a computer screen. I use my TV for that.

let me get this straight.... in order to take full advantage of iMac's screen (which is one big feature you brought up)... not only I need to buy an addtional blu-ray player (Somehow Apple doesn't feel that blu-ray is a proven format yet), I also have to install Windows OS?
why don't I just save hundreds of dollars and just go with Window 7 PC then, many of them have blu-ray built-in.

Unless you buy this iMac, or this screen from Apple for a grand:

You can have as many PC's and BD players you want, and you will not be able to see the image at the same quality. If you don't care about the screen, don't by an iMac.
If you want to watch the BD at the best possible quality, your eyes will need to be looking at an Apple display. It seems like a waste to spend $1000 on a screen alone, when for $699 more, you get an i7 Computer connected to the back of it.

You also don't need a BD player to watch HD movies. You can buy them from the iTunes store. They are compressed, but compressed well. iTunes HD plus Apple display is greater then BD plus any other display in my opinion.
And lastly, the mini displayport on the back takes a signal in. you can just use this if you want too:

And hook anything you like up to it.
