What should I do with my late 2009 iMac

bnjmnhns

So my iMac has lasted me about 5 years and a half and it has slowed down pretty bad i got it as a christmas gift when it came out and it has served me well for media, browsing and random school editing.

 

So what should i do with it its kinda old to sell and you can get a much better pc for the same price...

 

It has a intel core 2 duo 3.06 GHz 

nvidia 9400m graphics

14 Gbs of 1067 ddr3 ram

500gb old hard drive

Sell it for whatever you can get out of it I guess :P

Then put money towards a newer model, or do whatever you want with it.

I'd buy it, but not for $400, so go for that.

Load Windows on it, and use it for basic tasks. Other than that, just sell it

Is it because 'the core 2 duo master race' is failing on you or is it the 'seagate master race'

Has Windows Vista failed on you?

Do you have any young relatives in high school? It would be great for them to use for study, rest assured they won't be distracted playing games with that old school GPU. If not, how about any relatives needing a media PC for media entertainment?

Get a cheap ssd and reformat it. Use it as a browsing computer. Kinda like a 2nd monitor while doing your work on other computer.
