[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 940931, member: 56379"] Quick answer...maybe...maybe not. Performance-wise yes it would be a good replacement or even an improvement. And he would be able to "recycle" the old iMac's keyboard & mouse...but he would need to purchase a display. You didn't mention if you are only considering new computers...or are open to getting a used computer. So it's possible that the cost of a Mac-Mini + a monitor...may get close to the cost of a much newer used iMac. If you can get a display cheap, recycle the old iMac's keyboard & mouse...then a Mac-mini would be a good choice. Something to consider, - Nick [/QUOTE]
