I'm thinking my son's iMac G3's Power Analog board has gone out (all i get when I power on is a powerbutton blink and some screen crackle). Instead of going through the procedure (and high-voltage risk) of trying to replace it, I'm thinking of putting the logic board in a custom case powered by an atx psu. I have a 15" widescreen monitor I would like to use, but I am wondering if the iMac G3's internal connector, or external connector, support widescreen resolutions? Probably 1280x768? Thanks for your time.

it's the video card that is responsible for the resolution not the vga female output. I believe it can. I've had my imac run at 1280 x 1024 using SwitchResX. try out your resolution w/ the lcd to see if it works.
