MBPs and I assume iMacs, have two speed fans. Quiet and hurricane.

I put a small chassis style box fan on my desk that quietly blows across the exhaust ports. I've never heard the hurricane fans since. Before I added that fan, the ports were very hot to touch. Nice and cool after the fan was added.

YMMV!!

I'd love to have a trash can Mac. I've played with the options on Apples website and everytime I do, it's $5k or a bit more. OUCH! I can buy a couple of the older Gibsons that I love for that much. Then again, an i7 iMac would run me $3800. The iMac Pro will likely be around $1800 more. Sheeezzzzzz.

The Trashcan was never a machine for me- I refuse to pay so much money for a 5 year old design.
I was in a pinch so the iMac I can at least turn over when the new Mac Pro is released.
