I'd definitely get a case going before the warranty expires. Since it does it off of the system DVD it's hardware related. The hardware test disc probably won't say anything since it is working but you never know. Are any of the machines at the college like your new iMac?

I always have a problem with that - I say call me when you get the part in and then I'll drop it off but Nooooooo they want you to wait 3 to 5 days without a computer . Pisses me off
I do understand they want to check it out to make sure that something else is not the problem - but gheess , known reoccurring problems the parts should be in stock at all times .
