My trusty Intel dual core, 24" iMac just shut down on me today. Out of the blue and after no particular provocation from my side.

I thought that it might have overheated and that once cooled - it might come back up, but no luck.

I was sure it was the power supply - there's no "peep" coming out of the thing so I set out to find how to replace it. I found a bunch of interesting things, but mostly wanted to figure out a proper way to open it up.
