Should be able to self upgrade, but very troublesome because need to open the screen

Nonsense, don't simply make statement if you are not sure. Upgrading iMac memory will only need to loosen up 1 philip screw and remove the memory cage cover. Pull the plastic tab, remove old RAMs, put in new RAMs, close the RAM cage cover.

Here's the fact:
iMac G3, flip over, 1 screw, open RAM cover.
iMac G4, 4 screws, remove bottom cover.
iMac G5, flip over, 3 screws, open back cover.
iMac G5 iSight, 2 screws, open RAM cover.
iMac CoreDuo-Core2Duo white, 2 screws, open RAM cover.
iMac Core2Duo-Core i alu, 1 screw open RAM cover.

They are not hard to upgrade RAM.

How about HDD upgrade on the new 21.5" iMac ? Is it easy?

Like I said on the other thread, no, it is difficult.

You will only get in to the HDD on steps 4, where you removed the glass panel, LCD panel.
There are risk breaking the glass, if not introduce dust and stain on both the glass and LCD. Which is not easy to clean. If you are not careful, you might damage other component or shocked by the PSU since they are next to each other.

External drives is cheap, if you want to expand your storage, point them external, in fact we do not suggest user to park everything inside the internal HDD. It's too risky. If you send your Mac to service, you going to expose all your datas to whoever doing your Mac. And there's no easy way to take the drive out unlike the 'Books.

Like I mentioned before Apple pulled those options from the entry level 21.5" iMac, you can only add more RAM, no option for HDD.

Be more specific what is "hot". Run temperature monitor app get the reading on various sensors. 35°C can be hot. 100°C also is hot.

Private.G have put much I wanted to say. You won't go wrong with the newly refreshed iMac. It's the fastest Mac so far, even a MacPro owner felt envy at certain aspect.

Things about IT is you should never waste time on waiting something that yet to come. By the time that particular product arrived or announce, the rumors for next gen started. So wait some more?? If you need it now, just get it. Enjoy it. I'm pretty sure the iMac can last few years for your need.
