[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1426018, member: 46727"] An iMac is designed to run very cool. I would definitely not block or filter the bottom vent in any way as that may indeed restrict the proper air flow. As far as keeping a computer on 24/7, there are proponents and opponents.... :) You can argue either way. I personally shut my machine down when I'm going to be away from it for awhile as we get thunderstorms here in Texas that sound like WW III. I also use an uninterrupted power supply that will automatically shut down the iMac in the event of a power glitch or failure. A refurbished machine from Apple for all practical purposes is the same as a new one and carries the same warranty. If you can save money that way, by all means do so. [/QUOTE]
