I've got a 20" iMac G5 first generation with some issues that I'm looking to sell either whole or in pieces. It could be used as-is as a server or could be fixed up, but it's currently not perfect.
The good: the computer boots and runs, the fans work and don't make too much noise, the speakers sound great, SuperDrive works (burning capabilities not fully tested but it played all the DVDs and CDs I tried), and the case is in very nice cosmetic condition. The bad: there is an annoying video problem with the logic board. It puts out video but there is a severe red tint like the connector isn't seated properly. I've tried swapping parts with another iMac and have determined that the LCD and cable are fine and the problem must be with the board itself. When I got the computer there was no video at all, so I replaced the two visibly bad capacitors and now it does this. I don't know if it's fixable or not (maybe it's something simple like another capacitor, or maybe it's something more serious). Also, the LCD panel itself has some scratches and bruising, but no cracks. The power supply currently works with no issues, but it will likely need to be recapped soon. The center screw that holds the back closed is damaged, so the case doesn't want to stay flush at the bottom (the two side screws still work fine and keep the back on tightly). And, finally, it is missing the RAM, hard drive, and hard drive bracket. I'd like to get $40 plus shipping or best offer. If you just need a specific part make an offer (the optical drive, fans, speakers, backlight inverter, chassis, back/foot, and all internal cables are in excellent condition, the front case, LCD, and power supply are fair but usable). I may also be interested in a trade, and of course if you are local there'd be no shipping to deal with. If you have any questions or want to see pictures please feel free to ask.
