I have three of them on my farm, bought for $25 each, and after replacing them with SSD and installing Ubuntu, they work great. It has an excellent screen and good speakers and I need them to run one application that connects to the home server and I do everything on the server and these are just computers-terminals. The original keyboard is very nice and can be used even with work gloves, but the original mouse is a nightmare.

I have a 17” early 2006 model that I have upgraded to a core 2 duo and flashed it to be the 5, 1. I have it running Lion currently. They make pretty nice windows XP machines with Bootcamp as well. The fans are max speed because the hard drive was likely replaced, and they didn’t put the temp sensor back on the new drive.

If you have a working disc drive in these iMacs, putting Snow Leopard on it and using Front Row as a DVD player with the white/aluminum Apple Remote is the way to go!

I own both a "glossy white" 20-inch G5 iMac and a "glossy white" 24-inch Intel iMac system. Keep the G5 iMac on OS X 10.4 Tiger and, the Intel iMac on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard both desktops have MS Office, Apple Works, iLife '09, iWorks '09, and support watching and recording digital TV channels over the air using my Elgato EyeTV 500 system. And yes, your statement was correct Snow Leopard was the best ever Apple computer operating system (prior to trying to make the operating system look like an iPhone OS or iPad OS (smile ... smile).

upgrade the ram, SSD, then use the opencore installer to hack in a newer version of MacOS. i got an 8, 1 iMac (2008) and its running Mojave and FIrefox ESR as the browser, and it is fine for productivity, web browser, slicing prints, running my laser engraver, email etc.

Might make a decent Monitor with an aliexpress kit

Uhhh yeah. They may have listed it at $100, but it's definitely not worth that. $50 maybe.
