Well, no one expects things to fail to that degree when purchasing new, and I made sure to hold off until the Rev. B, but unfortunately all of the iMac G5 models were affected by the capacitor issue. Originally, Apple was only covering a certain number of serial numbers which amounted to the Rev. A models, but they changed that to cover all of them since many people with Rev. B ALS models and Rev C. iSight models were having the problems. It's a shame because I love my iMac G5, but that is a major black eye to the model.
