Are we talking sleep here or complete shutdown?Does the hard drive spin in sleep mode?
Bit of both on this topic i think! lol, on sleep however the iMac does shut off the hard drive, put it to sleep also if you like, the only thing that puts some people off is that there is still full power going to the power supply 24/7, yes the supply will not draw much power because the machine is in sleep mode but you cant get away from the fact that depending on where you stay, either 240v or 110v is sitting on the supply, nothing wrong with this as thats its job, its just the reason some people like to shut down at night.

Sadly yes this is true, we still do pc's to component level because as you say is pennies for the simple parts that mostly fail.
We could easily do apple mac and they are a joy to work on but sadly we find it hard to get spares and if we do if its not a simple component then the prices are shocking
