Hi, recently a storm fried my modem, router, and network interface card. I'm asking what kind of nic is needed to replace the built in nic on my imac. Also how do i install this new nic. Any links or instructions would be much appreciated. Thanks...ColinH

You can't install a NIC in an iMac. The Ethernet is part of the main board.

bobw is right. There are two ways to fix this problem, though:
1) USB ethernet devices. I don't know how well/if these work.
2) Go to you neighborhood Apple Authorized repair place and get them to fix it. Depending if its under warrenty or not, this may not be cheap.
