I just posted on the swap list a request for the carrier card. My
house was build in 1999 and the wiring is good. The flickering calms
down after about 15 to 20 minutes.

About how long did it take to become stable? I had mine on for at
least 2 hours, and it only calmed down a tiny bit, but was still
noticeable.
This iMac is sitting in my office surrounded by other Macs....a
dual 1 gig G4 with a 19 inch VGA display, a dual 2 gig G5 with a
20 inch cinema display and a G3 Blue & White with a 17 inch
matching monitor.
*drools* :-P lol
Might moving it to another room solve the problem.
I *did* notice that when it was here upstairs, it didn't jitter.
Though, it *was* another circuit...
My dad's supposed to be running another line from the circuit
breaker for the basement so there's power down there 24/7...
(Current light switch cuts all power down there, so I have to
unplug my computers before I come back upstairs).
although this is no problem as I can hide the wires. Opinions?
I would probably use the AirPort card, but that's just me - I'd
like only 2 cables coming out of my iMac ;-)

of putting it in the kitchen. The only drawback is that I haven't
yet bought the airport card carrier and have it connected to the
network port via an airport express....although this is no problem
