• Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz

• 4GB RAM
• 500 GB WDC drive WDC WD5000AAKS-40YGA1
• 24" 1920x1200
• LaCie external (firewire) for TimeMachine backups

I'd replace the spinning HD with an SSD if it was not nearly impossible to open the case. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+24-Inch+EMC+2134+and+2211+Hard+Drive+Replacement/8968
