so i recently got an A1195 iMac from someone on the trading post, it was even shipped in its original box (thanks!). while i could've easily just kept the A1195 board in there with its GMA 950 video card.... i had other ideas. i got a cheap A1208 board which is about the same, except for the fact it has ATI graphics that are much faster. however, these weren't exactly built the same way. for one, you'll need a few parts: the A1144/A1173/A1208 isight camera/microphone/IR cable, a power supply from those aforementioned models complete with the DC board and SATA/PSU power cable, and a temp sensor w/cable for the hard drive. you'll also need an extra internal antenna so you can get bluetooth working correctly.
you will also need to remove this standoff where this screw goes on the a1195 board, because it does not line up. you can just bend it off with a really strong pair of pliers. also don't worry about it, its not anything vital for this already strangely built computer to live.
not sure if anyone is interested in more info for this, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
