Depends on your model. old iMacs are quite different from the G5 iMac. Then there are mini macs. eMacs are different again. The G5, G4 and G3 Towers are pretty close to an average PC setup.

Typically though you will find heatsink with a huge surface area (rather than huge fans). The RAM, Video cards and Hard drives are standard PC components.

Ram slots are typically accessible from outside. But removing hard drives from iMacs and eMacs ia real pain.

No need to be rude to them.The character in the cartoon attempted that, but the customer was rude to the character, and then got what he deserved.

Never be rude to someone you want to help you. (especially if they are getting you food)
