My "new To Mac" Story Options

[camarao]

Hi

this is a complicated story...
First I was amazed by the new Imacs and I decided to buy one after years with Intel/Windows. I ordered a 17" model.
I waited a long time for it to come and in that time of waiting I read this discussions and realized that there were some people with noise fan issues in their Imacs. I was worried and tried the Imac in the shop before brought it to home. It had that horrible noise! I didn´t buyed it and instead I went to a friend's place who had just bought a 20" model to try it out. The same tests and no noise!
Next day I switched my order for a 20 " model. It arrived 2 months later (!). I've made the tests at the shop and (apparently) no noise... I bought it.
First week I was amazed with my new Imac, but after 2 weeks of working there was a fan that was starting to make an irritating noise. This was a very low volume noise, that's true, but it was really irritating. I know my PC is noiser, but I didn't payed 2000 euros for the PC, and the PC was noisier but less irritating.
It's a noise that seems to come from one of the fans. The others fans just produce a smooth air blow.
But the main problem is that it seems it's getting worst , like it is deteriorating.Yes this is a mechanical noise of the whining type.
Conclusion: the Imac is still less noisier than my PC, the Imac is still more irritating than my PC, the irritation is probably a psychological effect of reading those discussions and finnally I don't care about that, I will sell the Imac and buy a Powerbook.

Back to the iMac problem

I found This Thread on g5support, with some tips and a people trying to walk around the thing. My other sources were not in English si it's the best I found, save eventually the forum on Apple site.
