    You don't seem to have any clue or want one.

    OTOH, I've actually looked into this idea. I did it with the
modern intel iMacs and found it somewhat problematic for exactly
the reason I stated. This thread also made me curious about ebay
(where this other guy is shopping apparently). The intel iMacs
there seem to be all radeon based (probably a problem) and the 
PPC iMacs don't even specific graphics hardware. That would be
another detail to sort out.

    There are similarly equipped PCs. So that's something else
to consider.
