I have a 24 inch iMac from 2009. There were persistent problems with it's logic board ever since I bought it. Recently it gave up completely and the machine goes into a restart loop whenever I turn it on. I was wondering if I could some how make a basic low cost hack using the same body and screen. Or maybe even turn it into an android pc using a raspberry pi. I know it sounds like a lot of work and maybe such a thing wouldn't be possible at all. Just wanted to know if it could be done somehow. The machine looks so beautiful sitting on my table and I don't want to discard it, but currently it isn't adding any value to my setup either. I considered getting a replacement for the logic board but I could buy a high end ASUS mobo with thunderbolt for the same cost. Damn you apple!
