Slightly off-topic, one thing that always surprised me about the slot load iMacs is that no third party companies ever made fans for them. The early compacts had issues with overheating just like the slot load iMacs, and they had all kinds of solutions available to them such as the System Saver and FannyMac (lol), whereas the slot load iMacs didn't have anything of that sort. Around 2001 - 2002 I did work experience at an AASP and I remember they always had slot load iMacs in for repair, due to the APV board or Down Converter Board overheating and therefore failing. I know Steve hates fans....but really, building a machine like that with no fan...what a stupid idea.
