Those all in one computers are a nightmare if you have to work on one. I never liked the original iMacs and the newer ones are more streamlined, but still not my cup of tea. I get the idea of slimline computers and I actually bought a re-certified Dell small form factor GX520 and any smaller than that I’d get a new laptop but I already have one. That Dell cost me under $100 and it is as current as I need to be. It runs Windows 7 on it and XP as well. 3.2 gHz 512mb upgraded to 2gb.
They are? I just replaced a hard drive on one of my client's 2007 Intel iMacs... Place the iMac face down on a table, loosen three captive screws, lift off the back and set it aside. Everything is easily accessed. Replacing the LCD screen or backlight would be more difficult... but everything else is modular.
