Harry, Possibly Apple has corrected their problems by now and all will be good for you, I am one that goes with whatever Apple sends out, thinking that they are almost always on the money, I got bit on this one.
The only way I could overcome the fan running like nuts, and the lockup from screen saver was to take the thing to MacTown (that would have been hard if I had ordered over the internet wouldn't it) and they showed me where the darn reset button was for the PMA, (or some such acronym). Now that this has been done, the fans have calmed, and so far no more lockup's. I learned that MacTown had the same problem with a couple iMac's but it didn't occur until they booted with the option key down, then they had to take them apart and do a reset. Are you a risk taker?
