Mac Mini Cooling

Today I was thinking about how cool of a concept the Mac Mini is. It then occured to me, "How does a fully functioning computer the size of a Cd-drive keep its processor cool?" I'm sure they can pack all the necessary hardware in, but how does it stay cool?
I don't actually own a macintosh computer, so I'm just assuming Macs do have CPUs, RAM, and a Harddrive. Can anyone enlighten me?
 
Same way they keep notebooks cool. They use a passive cooling solution for the processor and one fan.
 
i thought they used a heatpipe solution on the cpu. or passively cooled. whatever the case, mac's are real nice at engineering thier stuff, like keeleysam stated
 
A nice CPU heatsink, with a radial fan exhausting out the back. With small inlet holes all around the bottom, and negative pressure, air goes over pretty much everything as it is pulled out. Also note that the fastest is a 1.4GHz G4. Not much power at full load, and not that powerful of a CPU.
