Wasn't really looking for another machine, was rather looking to get rid of some units, but monday, a lonely 20" Imac was lying on the street, just side by side with my car...just grabbed it.
The unit looked fine on first sight, but the screen was smashed.
Started looking for a screen, but prices were rather expensive... but i spotted a new ad for a complete unit for spares (the unit was complete but the owner advised will not boot or show any sign of life)
I removed the broken screen and exchanged it with the donor one, in the end the hard drive was faulty also (maybe the reason the screen was damaged), and the donor Imac had no spare (the previous owner removed it...but did not advised)
I had a spare and after a quick install and upgrade, have a new (to me) Imac to replace my Linux station.
Not bad for a 70 euros investment.
Posting with it right now.
