Well the mouse turned up with an iffy left click so i stripped it down and opened the button its self, turns out the spring had came off so now thats working 100%, i fully cleaned it and rebuilt it. its not exactly bondi but its better than nothing for the time being
I also received the Airport Extreme card and plugged it in, it worked straight away hassle free!
BUT... heres the bad news...
Unfortunately no matter what i do, i can not get the computer to run fully accelerated graphics! which is a major downer as the computer will be pretty worthless without it :-( so after lots of reading and discovering what i should have done the 1st time round... I'm buying the following;
Intel i3 2125 (Built in HD3000 Graphics)
Zotac H67ITX-C-E
This graphics is fully supported out the box, the wi-fi isn't but i have the airport to fit in its place. In the mean time of selling the old board (my brother is interested in it) i will be modifying the iMac chassis and getting the iMac CRT to run without the motherboard installed.
