Macs are tough <http://dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/flood/> Mine is  
still running years later.

If the iMacs have been dry, and it's just an issue of grass and weeds  
growing into the car, some more cans of compressed air may well be all  
they need.

If the iMac's been off for more than a day or three, there's no  
residual charge in the CRT electronics, and taking them apart would  
be  the first step towards cleaning them.
