Has anyone had success getting Apple to fix the noise in the 2.3 or 2.7 PMs?

how are you suppose to clean the imac screens???

I had one of thier 800mhz upgrades, and the fan on that was so noisy I ended up selling the machine to my wife's cousin on the cheap.

Are all the processor upgrades noisy, or is it just the higher speed dual processor ones like the Giga 1.8 dual?

Its so noisy that I wish I hadn't purchased it. I had to remove the two little fans that they give you and put on an 80mm fan. Its a lot quieter now but I voided the warrantly. I d…

CRT iMac? - my old DV400 used to do that and then one day the analogue board went. If it happened today I would not bother getting it repaired.
