niteman1969 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Just a quick question - I have an opportunity to buy both these ex-demo machines at a bargain price. the 20" says no psu - whereas the 17" is fully working. Can I do the following 1. swap the 17" psu into the 20" case 2. put the hdd from the 17" into the 20" as a second hdd 3. add the 512mb memory from the 17" to the 20" 4. Sell the 17" as a bare machine after all these bits have been canabalised from it. 5. If i can't do number 1 can I swap processors and then do steps 2,3 & 4 Regards Niteman1969 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34429-intel-imac-20-and-17-info-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 psu's must be the same. and you can change all parts.. psu, memory, processor(it's socketed) but you can't add second hdd in imac - only in external hdd enclosure.
