Just got my 20" Rev A iMac, and it's awesome. No fan noise whatsoever, and (lucky me) no dead pixels. I was very nervous about the fans due to posts on here, but it's definitely …

"On the other hand an imac sits on your desk right in front of you so no way to lock out the noise." Exactly.

I've had my new Rev. B iMac 20" 2 GHz for a few weeks now, and it's been perfect, in every way: incredible screen (with no stuck or dead pixels), faster than I thought possible wit…

hey guys, so yea, i just finished playing that Dinosaur game on my gf's rev.B 17" iMac, and that buzzing fan sound coming from the power supply at the bottom left of the iMac got …

OK here my two week experience with both a rev B 17" 1.8 and a revB 20" 2.0 ghz imac. The 17" has a (not very loud) buzzing noise which is always present. In contrast to the posti…

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…

Mine is not noisy. I can hear it, but after my pc I don't notice the imac noise. My d-link wireless router is actually louder Some people probably confuse the spinning cd sound w…

Well, my 3 day old rev.B went back to the Apple store today, and came home again. First they listened to it on the counter in the store, said they couldn't hear anything. I pointe…

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…
