I have a working iMac (sort of) with faulty FBT connected to a FSI monitor from flea market.

As I bought the iMac brand new, its in rather good shape. There´s not much special inside, except for the SCSI host adapter in the mezzanine maybe. 10.3 and 9.2 do run if needed, but I recently switched to Hackintosh on AMD/Intel and SheepShaver.

Would be no surprise if one of my Mac´s HDDs would quit, but I cloned disks and saved the images on redundant USB drives.

For my personal needs of running old software SheepShaver or BasiliskII are perfect and quite fast on 10.6.8.

So my two remaining Macs mostly sit there idle, reminding me how insanely much money I gave away to get them new. :)
