I'm already a mostly Apple household. Right now I run a 15" MBP slotted into a hengedock 99% of the time, powering a ~23" 1080p panel. It's alright, but I think I'd be better off with just an iMac, mobility be damned. My general use is very light, but I like large screen real estate, so any of the 27" iMacs from any generation would fit the bill quite nicely. Part of me is hesitant to drop the MBP cold turkey- so I want a period of time where I'd own both machines. Otherwise I could probably sell off my MBP, put the proceeds towards a refurb 27" iMac, and be very close to breaking even.
So if all I'm looking for is a relatively functional 27" iMac and I don't care about production year (ie: pre-thunderbolt is acceptable), scratches, dents, or even 100% functional ports (as long as ethernet and one or two USB ports are working I'm okay), what's the cheapest I can expect to find one? And where am I most likely to find such a deal?
