My Intel-based iMac from mid-2007 is malfunctioning and until I can repair it would like to use it as a monitor for my 2010 MacBook Pro. Apple's online specs don't make it clear whether this model iMac can receive DVI input or if it's for output only. Does anyone have experience with this? Which Mini-DVI adapter would I need for this?
Got a tip for us?

Only the 27" iMac can have video in.
Maybe try ScreenRecycler, it works via LAN, though I haven't successfully configured it yet.
