[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1812653, member: 8287"] One quick warning. A large percentage of those Caps are blown. If you keep using that machine with those Caps. you will do more damage to the machine. I owned the very last iMac G5 that had the same case and basic design as the Intel macs that followed and using it with those tented caps caused it one day to GO BANG. Literally sounded like a large fire cracker going off inside the iMac! When I took it apart the one cap blew it's insides out all over and did damage to the Power Supply and the other one took out the SATA controller. After that the machine was history. If you want to keep working with that iMac, please change the caps asap. [/QUOTE]
