Nice score 
My mom uses that exact imac and with maxed ram & SSD, it's super zippy for her needs. I woulda picked that up for $60 too if for no other reason other than to put it in the baby's room. Personally, I like C2D machines - they're cheap and with a little work, make solid daily drivers and yanno, if you spill some coffee on it or drive off with it on the roof ... oh well, no biggie My main portable is a 08macbook with SSD & 8gb ram. I personally have little desire to actively collect the really old macs that you guys do (just window shop your photos of them) but I do have a few PPCs purely because they otherwise would have been trashed or I actually found them next to that week's trash - worked on em, cleaned em out, upgraded cpus & ram, fresh leopard installs etc. to make them functional (relatively speaking of course) on today's internet. Yanno tinkerer, hobbyist stuff. It's fun & cheaper than buying a new mac .
