The aluminum iMac has three fans. There are several sets of take- apart photos on the web including a hot link in the first paragraph that you find here: http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/08/09/mac.os.x.version.system.ch/ Look for "Kodawarisn has posted disassembly photos...." And yes, our 20 inch machine is a lot quieter than the Quicksilver 733 ever was. The fans are very quiet. I do not know whether they are always running or thermostatically controlled. At the moment, the room is at 65 degrees, and the top of iMac at the rear vents is slightly warm to the hand. But working this e-mail does not make the CPU or the RAM work hard. If you feel your machine is running too hot, you should compare notes with folks on the imaclist. For any Mac, there are ways to measure operating temperatures, but I've never paid attention.
