[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1400494"] dellsweig: I so very much hate to correct you because I love what you've posted there, but your iMac does indeed have a fan. Actually three IIRC. But what's BRILLIANT about the iMac (I'm referring to the recent "thin" ones from 2008-onwards) -- is that they use convection cooling (aka, "heat rises") to let nature cool the machine as much as possible, meaning that most of the time the fans don't have to run fast enough to be at all noticeable. It's EXACTLY that kind of thoughtful engineering and attention to detail that makes me think so highly of Apple. [/QUOTE]
