So this is a working iMac? Your post is a little confusing to me. If indeed its working I'll take it. Also what size hdd does it have?
|
1.83 C2D Mini, 12" PB 867mhz. Now iPhone enabled!!!!

Apologies, I figured this part of the post was obvious...

It starts up and runs well for a time, but then the display gets garbled by vertical blocks and lines, an understood symptom of the bad capacitors. The capacitors need to be replaced, see links.
If still interested, send a PM. I'm in Northern Maryland, so you aren't far away. As mentioned, the power supply is worth over $100 by itself and has only 6 months or so of use.
So maybe I should offer a solid iMac G5 power supply for $100, and I'll throw in the iMac while I'm at it

That sounds more to me like an overheating GPU. That it runs fine until something warms up.
Perhaps remove the heat sink on the GPU, clean the surfaces, and apply fresh heatsink glue ... for $100, it's not a bad gamble.
