My old iMac 27" late 2009 is now my hackintosh monitor, how about that? =)

I could have sold it, but honestly, between getting $800 for it and spending at least $500 on a monitor similar to it, which would have come without speakers, I thought I should keep it, and I'm happy. Not to mention it also serves as a backup computer in case things go wrong with the hackintosh AND is my shared media server.

Cons? Yep, a few:
- No brightness control as I unpaired my apple keyboard to use with the hackintosh. Fixed that by using "shades", a neat free app.
- No volume control when using it as a speaker, also, needed a SSDT to make it work. Also fixed that by enabling SSH with remote authentication and then osascript does the trick to change the volume.
- Every now and then I might have to reboot it because the target display goes crazy

Pros? Yep
- Personal media server
- Have a single computer to use with GlimmerBlocker for all our iPhones, iPads and other computers. No more adds in the house
- serves as a BT or long downloads computer. Since the iMac is about 99% silent, it is just on 100% of the time
 
I use an ASUS VG248QE 24 inch 1080p at 144Hz Refresh rate. The animations in OS X look crisp and speedy.
