An iMac is an All-in-one computer where all the components are located behind the screen, making it very slim and elegant.
Apple tries to make the iMacs very easy to setup and the only cable you need is the power chord, everything else is wireless.
iMacs are very fast and compares pretty well with the Mac Pro in speed tests.
iMacs are also very quite machines, you won't be hearing the fans wind up even during processor heavy operations.
