[muglo] Ode to a dead iMac

List,
My Rev.B iMac gave up Friday night, shed a tear or two, but fortunately had 
been backing up often, knew it was ready to crash. This seems fairly current 
problem to these models of iMacs, well documented on the Lowendmac.com site.
It will power up for about 10 seconds and then stops (power light goes orange 
and then once it's green it quits. The problem seems to be the analog board 
and/or flyback transformer; not worth the money to fix it, more then it's worth.
Before I do anything with it, is it possible to attach an external monitor to 
it? Just a cheap (used PC perhaps) to it? Anyone know what connections is 
required? 
I understand the RAM, hard drive, etc. is fine, just the monitor won't work.

TIA,
Tim
