I've often wondered about that too; Never got around to testing it on
any of mine because the cable is too short to reach another computer...
Theoretically, the iMac would have to be on, otherwise the monitor
won't get power, since the DB-15 is just the display data and not
power. You'll also probably need a DB-15 extension, or a DB-15 to VGA
with a VGA extension.
If you do try it, let us know how it goes.
