[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1300156, member: 17931"] My iMac is 5 years old and I think it was well worth it. For my uses, it didn't make much sense to spend over a grand on a new one, and now my old mac is faster than ever. I installed Snow Leopard on the SSD, which is now my internal drive. Having a shop do it is about $150 + parts, but I did it myself. It amazes me that I had my iMac in pieces on the dining room table, and I had to leave it that way overnight, and then I re-assembled it and it worked first time. Even my kids were amazed. Yes, lots of people work on Macs other than the Apple store. I'd guess that it won't work again, but that's what I thought when my HD went bad, and it came back to life. [/QUOTE]
