How many fans do new 1.25 gHZ eMacs have?

Greetings all!
I've had my new eMac almost four weeks now and I've noticed that occasionally I'd hear over the regular continuous fan a new "blowing" sound, almost like a new fan's gone on with a slight "turbine" whine, or some mysterious vent's just opened up inside and sometimes I could even a slight draft coming from somewhere. I'm sure it's not the fan merely briefly speeding up and slowing down; it's a distinctively different "wheezing blow." Can anyone tell me what's going on in my new baby?

Did you just put a disk in? If so then it is just the drive spinning up.

All of the eMacs that I have seen just have the one fan in the back. Optical drives can be pretty noisy, though.

Try putting it to sleep. If the 'turbine' sound goes away, it's the harddrive spinning up/down.

Doesn't everything including any fans shut off then also?
