Cheers, I just updated the post above yours as well with pics. Aye, it involves messing with surface mount resistors, much similar to the Sawtooth G4, but much more difficult.

I've found a donor iMac anyway with a faulty logic board and a good FBT, so it's worth a shot. The process will involve swapping the flyback transformer out, a fairly simple solder job, a swap of the speakers, returning it to 384mb RAM and loading it with an operating system, maybe OS 9, no more than OS X Panther.

The topcase will also be modified to include a ventilation fan, and a mounting bracket to support it. The fan is quite large, a good 10cm diameter, pulled from a G4/Sawtooth tower.
