So I got my first iMac but had to send it back due to the iSight camera not functioning at all. I received the replacement yesterday and the iSight works great. But now the fan is making a rattling noise. Seriously, I thought iMacs were supposed to be “virtually silent.” I’m pretty sure that there isn’t supposed to be fan rattle.
Does anyone else have an iMac that has a rattling fan? Should I send this one back too? I’ve been reading on the forums that iMacs shouldn’t have any noise at all except for the hard disk and the super drive. This is turning out to be a very unpleasant experience with Apple for me.

I just bought a 24\” iMac and it sounds like my god damn fridge! I am pissed in a big way. The inconvenience of having to schlep this piece of monstrous crap to a service center and haggle with some pimply faced teenager about \”how loud is loud\” … nice one Steve Jobs… very nice.
Hi.. My iSight built-in mic is extremely noisy… Like a fridge is about right. I bought an external mic to use instead. Did you ever get your problem resolved?
