My sister's got a CRT iMac DV that needs to be plugged in for awhile before it will power up. I've got a Sony Vaio desktop that has the same problem. What would be the cause of this? Leaky capacitors in the power supply?

Check the voltage on the PRAM battery in the iMac DV. If it's under 3V, replace it.
As for the Vaio, you might also check its CMOS battery, but that may or may not be the issue.
Didn't the iMac DV have a CR2032 battery?

im pretty sure the DV has the regular pram battery
