QuickerTek brings 802.11n to 24-inch iMacs

Owners of Apple's 24-inch iMac can now enjoy the greater speeds and enhanced range of 802.11n wireless connectivity via QuickerTek's new upgrade. The 802.11n upgrade is made to the same specifications as the Apple wireless networking card, according to QuickerTek, and comes with a second antenna to complete the MIMO functionality. The upgrade works with all common Wi-Fi equipment, including 802.11b, g, and n as well as Apple's AirPort gear. The company offers a user-installed upgrade for $180 alongside its installation upgrade service for $200 plus shipping. The upgrade requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later, is supplied with QuickerTek software, and is backed by a 1-year warranty on parts and labor.

The user-installed upgrade includes all the necessary parts, illustrated instructions, and required tools. For the QuickerTek upgrade service customers select their preferred shipping method for speedy delivery, upgrade, and return of the iMac using the same shipper and service speed.

I thought the only iMac that didn't already have 802.11n was the integrated-graphics version of the 17" iMac! What's this all about?

Maybe its for older models that don't support it? Or perhaps for the people who are infuriated with spending $2 to get the option from Apple, and so would rather spend $200 from these guys. You know how some people are about 'principles'.

What I'd like to know is why this wouldn't work for the 20" or 17" imacs. Is it that big of a device that only the 24" has the internal space to handle it?
