What are the internal components like on an iMac?

I know macs are supposed to be good, i know the basic spec, Core2Duo etc and GT200, but what soundcards, motherboard and RAM do they use, what PSU?

Besides the design, are apple cutting corners internally?

Who cares? I thought you bought your iMac a few days ago?! It's a bit late to ask this question isn't it?

I am just curious

How would you define cutting corners?

Just 'cause the bits don't have ViperX Reaper Gold Series stickers on them, it doesn't mean they're duff.

I am not suggesting they use duff parts.

By cutting corners, like intergrated audio? slow timing RAM, PSU with low rails, things like that.

It's not so much why it matters, since I am getting one, I just wanna learn as much as I can about them.
