hello, I have a iMac g4 model M6498 15 inch. I stripped it down, got the monitor wires all set. But I have two questions, one the wires for the monitor are different colors than the videos ive seen, and two, for the power supply what kind of ATX PSU should I use. On a video the guy said use an 'old Atx PSU.' But what model? what voltage etc. thanks to all!
 
I can't picture an ATX PSU fitting. If your PSU is dead. I'd look into a vintage computer recapping service. If you don't want to solder new capacitors yourself.

I know I looked. They all look to big. I was either going to use the original power supply or would something like this work?
