[QUOTE="marcfaubel, post: 294750, member: 24342"] I'm a little torn about which machine to get. I will use just for basic home computing and am not to worried about speed etc. I like the iMac but my major concern is what happens when the hard drive/cpu sputters out and dies? Can I upgrade the HD and processor since the monitor still works? I look at an iMac similar to the the TV/VCR combos...The TV screens last a lot longer that the moving parts (VCR) that are included. So I guess a few questions What is the lifespan of an iMac? What is the lifespan of an Apple monitor? What is the lifespan of the Mini? I know that the Mini and the Monitor will be more expensive but after the mini goes down in a few years, i'll still have a working monitor that I can buy a new mini for. When the iMac goes down, I have to get a whole new package, screen and cpu. Thanks, Marc [/QUOTE]
