F/U: iMac w/ Video problems upon arrival

[Jerry®]

So I called Apple today and told them about the flickering I've noticed when doing anything graphic intensive on my new iMac i5 and they agreed it was hardware related and since it's such a new machine they're sending me out a NEW one as soon as I ship this DOA one back! WOOT! I love Apple Service!

Should I zero my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard before sending it back or just send it back with all my crap on it?

[C(-)ris]

I'd erase it personally.

Most likely. Or just another completely DOA model. I've got bad Mac Luck.

Or could be funky wiring in an old building.
Do you use a UPS?

nope. Just a good quality powerstrip. Building is about 30 years old maybe?

Otherwise, you tend to be a pretty hardcore "early adopter", no?
