Er...what is a midplane?
According to Apple's service guide (http://docs.info.apple.com/
article.html?artnum=86812) it is an assembly containing quite a lot
of the computer's components:
The Mid-plane assembly for the original iMac G5 includes the main
logic board, the G5 processor, modem card, lower fan, input/output
ports, AirPort antenna, built-in Bluetooth module and antenna (if the
computer has Bluetooth capability). If any of these parts require
service, please see an Authorized Service Provider.
The Mid-plane assembly for the iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor)
includes the main logic board, the G5 processor, modem card, lower
fan (in 20-inch iMacs), input/output ports, AirPort antenna, built-in
AirPort/Bluetooth module and Bluetooth antenna. If any of these parts
require service, please see an Authorized Service Provider.

I'm toying with the idea of buying a mini, but only because of a

What I'd really like is an iMac G5, since it best matches my
needs, has the right spec, and is about what I can afford.
But: I've been really put off the idea by dozens of reports of
dodgy midplanes getting too hot and warping, or giving off
horrible burning smells. (Has anyone on this list got an iMac G5
and experienced that sort of problem?)
My wife's iMac G5 (bought in January) hasn't given her any
problems. It's a really nice machine, she is very pleased with it.
