Why is Apple playing games with Mac prices?

I finally decided to do something about my MacToaster. Not wanting to spend
>$50 on a clean commercial solution I cleaned a 3" fan from a flea market
(99 cents I seem to remember) up with a q-tip and isopropyl. After a cord
a switch were attached the fan was mounted at an angle (normal to the
fan about 30 degrees from verticle) in the space immediately behind the
handle with some double sided foam tape along the handle as well as the
indent area. The remaining gaps were sealed with plastic tape. The sucker
is fairly noisy (perhaps I should have gone with the "quiet" fan for $3
at the market), but it really keeps the Mac from heating up.
