My 17" iMac is roughly two, three years old. When I first got the mac, there was barely any fan noise; almost a whisper. Now, the fan noise has escalated to a whining that can be heard in the next room. It didn't happen all of a sudden, it just gradually grew and grew. Is this just a normal dust accumulation in the fan or what? Fan noise is an annoying thing when trying to concentrate.
