It seems I can fry an egg on the back of my iMac.
I am just browsing the internet via safari. So horrible.

That's quite normal. The aluminum casing is a very efficient heat transfer mechanism. Better to be hot on the outside than on the inside.
 
Your HD bay is at 52 celsius? I think that's getting a bit high for a hard drive. But then my iMac isn't a fair comparison, I'm in a fairly cool room with the fan on and my HDD fan is at 2000 rpm.

I'm getting 42 average.

I downloaded iStat onto my old old G4 15" i-Lamp. Funny, it doesn't seem to show the temperature. Is this because there are no temperature sensors on this old model?
