[QUOTE="ichthyology, post: 1398576, member: 250060"] Hi all, My 2007 iMac has the dreaded vertical flashing and colorful lines on the screen. I just ordered a new iMac but I would like to salvage the old one for use at work. How would I connect it to a PC monitor? I would like to still use the computer but these lines are getting obnoxious. I have a Mini Display Port/ VGA cable that I can plug into the monitor from my MBP, but how do I go about it with an older computer that doesn't have the Mini Display Port? Thank you very much for your help in advance! :) [/QUOTE]
