I suppose it all comes down to the user's needs. Before my new Mac mini, I used a 2006 first gen MacIntel mini with a 1.5GHz core solo CPU which I swapped out for a 2.33GHz core 2 duo, upgraded the system disk to a 7200 RPM Hitcahi, maxed the RAM to 4GB, and that thing still runs better than many of the modern PCs I've used. Never had any cooling problems.
I will admit I owned a G5 iMac that was a terrible glutton for heat. That thing was always noisily whirring away, but when the screen got destroyed with an errant RC helicopter, I never went back to the "all in one" solution.
