I don't really know what model it is. It's just a Mac at my university. Could you just list all the options to turn it on?
The latest design of the iMac is turned on with the power button which is placed on the back in the lower right left corner (when looking at it from the front). All other macs I can think of have a visible power button (small circular thing with a circle on it).
Hope this helps.

If it is an apple monitor (ie has a little apple centre, below screen) there will be a little power icon somewhere, if the screen is clear plastic looking this will be on the bottom right, place you finger on this icon.
otherwise there should be a power button somewhere on the main box (CPU).

Don't know about you, but my iMac's power button is on the back in the lower left corner (when looking at it from the front).
If he's taking about an eMac than the button is hard to find for new users, to the right side, closer to the back :O it has a little circle with the power symbol
lol, yes - you're absolutely right... got left and right mixed up there. It happens
My iMac G5 has it's power button on the lower right at the back. It's a pre-iSight iMac. All the iSight ones have it at the lower left which confuses me when I try to turn on my parent's one.
So true, the first time I had to turn one of them on I felt like a complete dumbass for not knowing where the power switch was...Tell me about it, 20mins it took me too find it when I got mine...

If it's on the back, how can you see it when looking at it from the front?
Seriously, though, I can't imagine that it's that difficult to find a power switch on any equipment, unless it's been removed.
