I love my newly acquired iMac DV 500 SE - but I don't like the
constant whining from the hard drive. Is this a common problem? I'd
like to hear from people who've solved it.
I mean, I'm pretty sure a new hard drive would help - or are they all
almost the same loudness?

Most likely, a new hard drive would help. Usually, the drives with
"fluid bearings" are quieter. Also, don't worry about 7200 RPM drives
being too hot - in fact, some improvements have been made that make
them almost as cool, if not cooler, than the stock drive.
By the way - no slot loading iMac has a fan. The optical drive and
hard drives are the only moving objects. Maybe you got an unlucky
noisy drive.
