We start the day with two – count ’em, two – 27-inch iMacs. First up is an iMac Core i5 Quad running at 2.66GHz for $1,699. Next is a Core 2 iMac running at 3.06GHz, outfitted with 8GB of RAM for $1,899. If you haven’t found an iPhone 3G yet, AT&T is back with a $49 deal on an 8GB handset.

Details on all these and plenty other bargains are available at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page coming up right after the jump.
