I am buying an iMac G3, but it does not have a power coard. Which kind does it use? Is it a standard one, or something special? Could I even swap the one out from my HP PC?
The socket is pretty deep, it's set into the iMac a bit. So just a regular straight power cord is best, nothing weird shaped like the right angle plugs.
The original one was a long funny looking, mostly grey, yet still multicolored thing. But any regular old computer type cord would work. Radio shack has them for $7.99, but I bet you can find them cheaper if you dont have an extra few (hundred) laying around.
