Hi

My trusty old iMac DV SE (500 mHz) has finally caved in, and I suspect the power supply's (PS) the culprit. I also have an old iMac Rev. B (266 mHz) and I want to know if I can replace the PS in the iMac DV SE with the PS from the iMac rev. B...

Can I do that? Anyone tried it? Any words of advice?

Thx.

No, you can't swap them. They have different motherboard connectors, and I would assume they are different sizes too.

If you are feeling adventurous you could try an iMac DV to ATX conversion. I've done a couple of these and my new iMac-in-ATX-Case make great little servers.


My name's ...uh... it's a bummer man.
