[QUOTE="chscag, post: 973444, member: 46727"] You won't be able to use anything except the hard drive from your old iMac. There is no way to use the display as a monitor since there is no video input to the machine. The memory modules are of the older type and will not be suitable for use in a new Mac. Why not look around and see if you can get a used logic board to replace the old one or, look for someplace to do the repair for less than Apple. Your old machine is out of warranty anyway... You could (if you're capable) do the repair yourself. Go to the following web site and look up your model iMac and find the step by step instructions for replacing the main board.
