Some have 10/100/1000 Ethernet. But that seems excessive for a consumer model.

FireWire 800 is also excessive for a consumer model. You could argue that USB 2.0 is also excessive, but I'm seeing an increasing number of consumer USB 2.0 devices in computer stores.

Yeah, that's what I meant. It would show game developers that Apple is serious about the gaming market. And with the likely increasing hardware requirements for Quartz, it would mean that I wouldn't have to buy a Mac as often.

That's the problem. Even if such a model existed, I'm not sure I would buy it instead of an eMac.
Do I want to get get an eMac and use my Power Mac's monitor as a second display for my VAIO or do I want to save money and buy a headless consumer Mac?
