I have seen comments online about capacitors needing replacement on iMac G5s, is that standard practice on those machines? I have replaced them on my Amiga 1200 right after purchase, but I didn't know macs suffered with the same issues.
In "iSight" iMacs the capacitors are not an issue. The older, 1,8 GHz version did suffer from capacitor leaks AFAIK.
But You'd probably want to replace the internal hard drive with an SSD for example? That's quite a lot of work in an iMac, while in PowerMac you just open the side cover and swap the old harddrive out and the new one in (no screwdriver required).
