Hmm. $12 to change 1 icon (I already used up my trial with Jag) is a bit expensive.

Is there another way?

Replace this file:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemIcons.bundle/iMac.icns

Or, if you want to continue using Candybar, just trash the prefs.

if you don't want to pony up money just to change some icons, read this article

Customizing Default System Icons

it's updated for mac os x 10.3 panther.

follow the directions and like zachs said, this is the icon you want to change:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemIcons.bundle/iMac.icns
