I am still using a late 2009 model.

actually if budget allows, the newer model (slim design) is much better in terms of reliability wor (becos less heat dissipation) .

Thanks for your advice, Jason.I have been using mid2007 24" imac, got 2 of them, so far they are very stable, it doesn't worth to spend that much for a slim one at the moment, the main purpose for a 27" is to upgrade the ram memory while 24" is limited to 4GB max.

i replaced LCD monitor (3 times), hard drive, DVD writer, SD card slot

the technician said the LCD issues (uneven color & brightness) are related to heat dissipation

no wonder there is a seller told me he also replaced screen, drive, dvd as well for late 2009 model, it must be a design defect for 27" while 24" is fine for less heat, thanks very much for the info, I better close this WTB now.

My iMac 27" i7 2010 motherboard was dead 15 days after delivery probably due to heat and Apple take 2 weeks to repair it (they don't have local spare parts at that moment!).

After that I connect an USB fan at the back of the iMac 27" i7 so it will turn on everytime the iMac is switched on and I have used it for 3 years and self-upgraded with SSD last year.

My iMac has problems with HD(Seagate problem), Graphics Card, SD card slot. I also upgraded to SSD but then my SSD failed once and replaced.

open the glass cover is easy, buy a suction cup tool at japan city to suck it out from the top end.

bugsbugs 發表於 2013-12-17 17:18:22

Easy.. i have changed 3 imac to ssd already
