With iPod-savvy Windows users clearly in its sights, Apple is expected to announce a bare bones, G4-based iMac without a display at Mac Expo on January 11 that will retail for $499, highly reliable sources have confirmed to Think Secret. Uh, it doesn't have a monitor. This is not a sub $500 Mac. What's next, selling just the keyboard for $10 and claiming that it is a $10 dollar computer?

Which is why I asked about KVM switches working with it. (KVM == keyboard video mouse, for sharing between boxen.)

You can connect to your existing PC monitor or buy a second one if you want to. This Mac is intended as a second household computer. It might be find for the kids' room or the family bedroom.

I thought I was alone in wondering who in the world would want a computer without a monitor. It's kind of like buying a television without a screen -- although you can always buy it seperately.
