Thanks for this useful link. I note that the article recommends using a 5400 rpm drive, and adds "faster drives may be too hot for iMacs". Does this match listers' experience? I'm pretty sure people have said here that they have used 7200 rpm drives in CRT iMacs.
Installing a larger, faster drive in an early iMac is a routine procedure, even in iMacs that have no fan. I don't think the 7200 drives have ever been shown to be the cause of an overheating problem. One of the ways in which the design of drives has improved over the years is that they run cooler.
