The older iMacs have a fan.

I upgraded the HD 6 months after getting the 333 iMac. They came out
in summer 1999. Never had a problem with that machine.

I guess there must be a website dedicated to HD running temps. I will 
take a
look later this evening.

Another related subject would be keeping the interior of your clean. 
Dirt and fuzz
makes a computer run hot, so those with pets might think twice about 
upgrading. I have
taken hundreds of machines apart and am amazed at how much filth 
collect in some cases.
I think those with cats and those that smoke have the most build up.
