Do you know if this machine has had OSX installed? Installing X without first updating the firmware can damage the CRT. I don't have the details, but someone else will surely jump in to provide them. If not, it could be the Analog/Video board. If you have the Apple Service Manual and are comfortable using a Multi-tester follow the procedures for testing the Power Supply and Analog Video board.
