Funny, I'm in almost the exact situation... 2007 (ish?) iMac 24" seized up early last week... The drive is dead as a doornail.
Now that that's accomplished, I'm contemplating how old/expensive an iMac I want to replace it. I really don't want to put a lot of effort into an iMac that can only take 6Gb RAM...
Those original 24" alu iMac's are on my "good" list. Excellent form factor, nice screen, and w/ a SSD, they're pretty peppy. Bummer yours crapped out. Spiff's white iMac is just too long in the tooth, but was a decent SL machine. Of course the newer i5/i7 iMacs can be pretty awesome, so I suspect a few more eyeballs may be looking at the refurb pages.
