It's funny ya know. The very first Mac family (the 128k, 512k and Plus) are known to have a dramatically longer life if you can <snip>
Have you not seen/heard of the "Fanny Mac" ? ---
For my money, if you a re really serious I'd buy an 8cm cooling fan for a PC and rig it to extract air from the top vents.
Buy ? I have killed enough PCs in my days to have a large quantity of 12V fans... ---
You an get really nice fans made of clear plastic
Sounds a good idea as one has got pride as wel... ---
if you really want to go to town, and you can do all sorts of silly business constructing ducts out of cardboard and stuff, but really anything is better than nothing.
Comes back to the failure issue. These ducts would kill the iMac if the fan/PSU failed. Taking the power from the iMac would only cause even more heat to be generated by the iMac...
