Is it me or is it getting to the stage where people may not purchase
apple computers simply because you cannot upgrade themselves (easily
anyhow). Are apple designing themselves into a cul-de-sac ? food for
thought... those who are used to just plugging in a new hard drive
and formatting it may well shy away from Apple in the future, i don't
know but it may happen...

You won't be able to upgrade the hard drive on a new iMac, not
easily at least. They have a temperature sensor which, although
present on other OEM drives, generally isn't 100% compatible so the
fans ramp up to full as a failsafe.
There is HDD Fan Control, http://www.hddfancontrol.com/, which will
keep the fans at a normal speed based on the hard drive's SMART
status. That should allow you to put any hard drive into the iMac.
RAM is much easier and cheaper if you buy from crucial.com/uk, they
do free next-day delivery.
