[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1815867, member: 46727"] Why not repair the 2012 iMac? If it's the Fusion drive that failed, you can replace it with a SSD or another Fusion drive. I'm not sure what it would cost (assuming you don't want to do the repairs yourself) but you can always ask around and get some estimates. Since the 2012 is no longer in warranty, you can have it repaired at any authorized Mac dealer who does repairs or at an Apple Store. I don't believe you can use the 2012 as a second display for the new iMac. Retina iMacs are not supported for Target Display Mode. [/QUOTE]
