bad news. the capacitors on the logic board were about ready to pop. i'm now the proud (and broke) owner of a new iMac. the pre-Intel processors tended to get really hot. if you take off the back of the computer and look for the chrome/silver battery-looking things that are attached to the logic board (aka motherboard), they should all be flush. if they're not, you're SOL. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

a new logic board will run you around $800. a new computer is not much more. good luck to you, and i hope i'm wrong!
