Cutting imac stand and Warranty

Ok, after searching the web I see that the stand is no longer removeable on the new 27" iMacs. I have got to lower mine 2 inches which will make it about 1/2 inch above the desktop. Will cutting the stand void my warranty? I have the 3 year warranty.


I was looking at getting:

which will ship in January and this stand:

It isn't aluminum or even silver but hopefully it will hold the iMac.


Any other suggestions/comments?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

My 27" is not the new one, but still a huge piece of equipment. I am unable to sit and look up at the monitor without getting a very severe (stiff) neck ache - ideal ergonomic position is supposed to be your eyes (looking straight ahead) should be near the top of the screen. So, I came up with an unusual, albeit perfectly working, alternative: I moved my computer off my desk and put it on a lower cabinet. I have a small lapdesk (more like a tray) from Logitech on my lap with keyboard and mouse (or trackpad), and sit back in my comfortable chair. For me, an ideal solution.

The idea of cutting a hole in a desk reminded me of other possibilities I had explored: google for height adjustable desks - there is quite a selection available. There are some where the back half or third is adjustable for the monitor; the front is stationary.
