For a day or so of sanding and staining I would restore it. You will be surprised how easy it is and how good it will look. Just have a really fine wet and dry paper for in-between coats.

Hope your enjoying your new iMac as much as I am. It is a pleasure to use (as well as look at!)

This. It is incredibly easy to strip, sand, stain and apply a few coats of poly. Depending upon weather, it could take a weekend to allow time for the poly to dry. Minimum 2 coats are necessary in my opinion. $30 total for supplies, max ... and your time.

Our PowerMacs were getting really long in the tooth and I found my mom and I still spent tons of time at our desktops, so it was time for new ones. I wish I had the light airy aesthetic going on here, but it's night and annoyingly this house doesn't have a lot of natural light to begin with anyway :( So there it is! I'm LOVING the new desktop, and my mom is loving hers as well. :D

Wait, you went from PowerMacs... to Alienwares??? :eek: Why not just get a couple Mac Minis, or even iMacs for the same price?

You need a bigger desk. That iMac looks like it's going to fall off the speaker.

Agreed. The iMac on the speaker makes me REALLY nervous.

Yeah now that I got the new place I am currently looking for a bigger desk, I may go with the Galant series from Ikea but still unsure. Believe it or not I made sure it was pretty sturdy on that speaker before leaving it there lol!
