[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1661780, member: 56379"] 2011 iMac's are still fairly useful computers…especially since it's a 27" model. So prices for replacement power supplies aren't going to be dirt cheap. Mac's are not Windows computers…where replacement parts are dirt cheap…and easy to find. To get a power supply (any Mac power supply) for under $50 bucks (or whatever price you're looking for)…this is probably doable on much older Mac's. For some Mac computers…a replacement power supply can cost $200+. So less than a $50 budget for a 2011 iMac replacement power supply is going to be difficult. Your other option is to keep your eye on eBay…and try to find something used. But even used it may be difficult to find something for under $50. But you never know…you may get lucky.:) If the budget is less than $50 for this power supply…then I guess this iMac may stay in the closet!:( - Nick [/QUOTE]
