I recently got a new Mac in my office. I went with a Mini instead of an iMac because it does what I need and because I already had two good monitors there that it drives very nicely. As Dan wrote, the iMac is pretty much a closed box. You need special suction cup tools to lift the screen off in order to replace the hard drive inside. Apple has firmware on its drives for temperature control, so besides replacing the drive, you have to install software to manage the temperature sensors.
