I agree with Brent. You will be able to finally have games on it.
Don't you already have a Dreamcast taken apart?

Man was the dreamcast an awesome system. You would probably have MUCH more resale value turning an iMac into a game platoform.

I suppose it's alright, I'd definitely like a better processor though.

eh your wasting time trying to upgrade a lappy. you should build a pc one part at a time like i did. Took me 3 months. I figure if I kept on building I could stay just below the cutting edge slowly upgrading one part at a time.

Sounds good. I'll get on that in a year or two though, only a freshman at this point and no one's going to hire me :/
I'm sure it'll pay off when I do get the opportunity to, though.
