"capacitors" being those little silo-like things? No, they look ok. And everything runs nicely from the Installer CD and from a Disk Warior CD. I'll get a new drive.

It is a 2005 iMac g5 (ALS). It should have 3 Phillips screws on the bottom. If it does, open it and look for signs of leakage on the capacitors. Otherwise, I'd say the hard drive is dead.

Sorry. I wish I could tell you. "powerMac 8.1" - is all that System Info gives away. It has a 1.8hz processor. No built in camera. Does that help? I can now get it to start on the Install Disc but it fails to format the new drive in it. "in/output error" disk utiliity says.

Thanks for your patience.

Anders

There's a label on the bottom of the iMac's foot that will give system specs, including the serial number. The serial number, when run throughj several online Apple ID services, will tell which model of iMac G5 it is.
