I am amazed to see an Apple iMac. How is it possible to have all hardware within the size of LCD Screen?

What kind of magic does Apple use?

DVD-ROM, Screen, Hard Disk, Processor, Motherboard ???

I want to know "how they are implemented physically?"

It means like a figure as follow.

Can someone explain about Apple's hardware? (like here is processor, & here is harddisk & so on).

Mac OS X = Software. A Mac is a short name for a Macintosh which is a brand name of computer that Apple Inc. makes. MAC in caps when it comes to hardware is something completely different. – Chealion Aug 20 '09 at 17:32

They're using notebook parts, which are designed to fit in a smaller space than desktop parts. This allows them to put a lot in a small amount of space, but it comes at the price of expandability and cost.

Mac OS X Leopard is an operating System and not a computer. If you want a look at the hardware used in a Mac made by Apple Inc. you can check out sites such as Kodawarisan
