In my experience, it works better to suck hot air out than to try to push cool air in. I'd get a 12-volt cooling fan and an AC adapter (powering a fan off USB makes more work for the iMac's power supply, which means more heat) from Radio Shack or Best Buy, and stick it on top, blowing out. Works good on my old Mac Plus (which has similar heat problems). You may want to tape off the top air holes not covered by the fan, so more air gets pulled in through the bottom. -- http://www.zirconia3.com "If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?" --Bill Hicks(1961-94) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
