[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1644059, member: 24160"] As stated above, you are not going to connect a video cable between the 2 of them. Personally, I would sell/donate the old iMac and purchase a new monitor. If the old iMac is still functioning (you can boot into the OS) you might try an app called [URL="http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html"]Screen Recylcer[/URL]. Here is [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/1156288/iMac_second_monitor.html"]one review[/URL], you can search for others. The app gets installed on the new iMac, not the old one. Try the demo out prior to purchase and make sure it will function as you expect for your intended use. [/QUOTE]
