I'd still suggest raising the rear a little. Passive cooling needs all the help it can get.
I will consider doing that in the future. I just wanted to inform you that I did raise it a little, as I cannot use it when it is sitting completely flat on my desk (I doubt anyone can).
They do have a nasty habit of blowing power supplies and other components which could well be heat (and age) related
Actually, the power supply on this iMac has been behaving very well. As an owner of two Pluses, I doubt I will have to replace the PS on the G3 anytime soon, although the capacitors on the analogue board will probably be the first to go, as there is significant wear on the display (it was used in an office 24/7 after all). It is quite dusty, but I do have intentions of cleaning the innards probably during the Christmas break (and yes, I am well aware of CRT safety & procedures. I don't intend on dying young). :beige:
