Same irritating fan noise problem here. And info about how Apple DONT deal with it on www.jephro.com !

brand new 20" iMac here. Sounds like a leaf-blower. Slightly disappointed.

1.8 Ghz 17" iMac Rev B. Fans spin up to a quiet hum sometimes when I launch a new application, but even when I'm doing intensive tasks like using Illustrator or (god forbid) playi…

My 3-week old rev B 20" is plenty quiet for my needs. I was quite concerned when I bought it, but took a chance and it worked out fine. One of the fans clearly has a dominant pit…

No problems here on a Rev B 20" G5. Can hear the fan, but it's not too loud considering the ambient noise.

My REV A 20" is fine? Not what I'd consider noisy at all.

My PowerMac is nearly silent. I can't hear it unless I put my ear up to the front grill. Oh wait... this is the iMac forum.

Mine makes a slight buzzing sound, but it's really not that bad. I've been building high performance pcs for years, so I'm used to a computer that sounds like a jet turbine spinnin…

I am looking to see if anyone has come across or has interest in helping with developing a Web Based Mac OS Simulator. I work for an Internet Service Provider type company in the …

Why not just ask the company to buy a Mac? :-/

Yeah, come on. The eMac and the Mac mini are well within the budget for pretty much any company, and especially one with 100+ employees.

um, it's gonna be cheaper to buy a Mac mini than to pay for the man hours needed to develop a web-based "mac simulator". And the bonus is, you have a real Mac. *boink*

We already have 5 Powerbooks. But what I am looking for is something that I can build instructions into as a tutorial. It is great to use the machines, but it doesn't mean they w…

Maybe make a demo movie with Snapz Pro? That seems like the quickest way to do what it sounds like you want to do.

I have been considering doing something like that. What I was considering was assembling multiple video captures into a Flash and then building a Text instructions over lay and vi…
