    Smoke coming out of iMac, now it works fine, something I should worry about?
    So today I turned on my iMac, and smoke started coming out of it so immediately I turned it off, after five minutes I turned it back on and now it is working fine, is this something I should be worried about? What could have caused it and is there a way to prevent?
