I have an iMac 17" 1.83ghz bottom-end model, which doesn't have built in bluetooth. Does this mean I won't be able to use a wireless mighty mouse and keyboard? I want to get rid of the cords; I had a wireless mouse/keyboard combo for my old PC, but I want the colour to match my iMac, and the apple keyboard is just too nice.

Yes, you need Bluetooth.

Just out of curiosity how else did you think a bluetooth mouse and keyboard work?

You can buy a USB BlueTooth adapter, which you won't be able to see sticking out of the back of your iMac.
