What kind of school are you going to? I'd sure love to see an ipod lab at my institution ;)

Please check your source and verify before posting.
Both units come with just CD-RW.
$950 (each) for an eMac, regardless of configuration (with a purchase of 20-pack) is no bargain, by the way.

according to the site, its a 20 pack superdrive emac, normally 999, now 949....its only a $50 savings, but it is a discount.
there seems to also be a second emac 20 pack, for 649 for the cdrom-only model. thats $100 off, but the normal lowend emac comes with a combo drive.
The only bundle i can find with ibooks is a 'previous generation - g3' ibook 5 pack for $750 (cdrom only, again) per unit.

...sleep of death...
Yes they finally fixed the problem after 62 days and 4 parts... Turns out that it was the video card (that's what I told them from day 1).
Not sure what is was but they changed the HD, MOBO and 2 video cards!
Sold the unit the minute I got it back. I'm sure it would have been fine (eveything was new in it) but it was full of bad memories...
Got a DP 2 GHz and got a whole bunch of NEW problems. Everything is ok now. I exchanged it for a DP 1.8 and I'm very happy with it. It's my favorite mac of all time (I've had 15)
good luck
