I took my iMac in today for the same repair. It was $66 for the PSU and $30 for labor. They did the repair work in less than an hour, but unfortunately it wasn't just the PSU.

There was a brown scorch mark on the MLB where the PSU plugs in, so it looks like the entire system is shot. Repairing it would cost $700, so that sucks.

In recent years, I haven't really cared about the lack of a headless mid-range Mac. Now that my iMac is dead, I have a perfectly good 20" IPS LCD panel going to waste. I won't be buying another iMac, so I guess it's down to the mini for me.
