Hello.
PC user here, I have my computer in my bedroom, and I often leave it on all night downloading large files, and this isnt a problem because I can simply turn my monitor off and sleep without too many bright lights disturbing me.

However, with no way of turning of an iMacs monitor, how am I to sleep?
I know they dim, but I'm sure that wouldnt be dark enough?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I was just thinking about it the other night.

You can set the display to turn off entirely at a certain time of idle. As you can see below, I set mine to turn off in 1 minnute. It works.

Aha. Cool.

One more thing, I use MSN messenger, and I was wondering if you can use the iMac cameras for use as webcams on msn messenger?

Or is microsoft that cruel.

It's not that they are cruel, its that they are lazy.
