To clarify my statement a bit, replacing the memory is not that bad. It's very easy and there's a spot underneath the iMac where you can replace the memory modules. As for the hard drive, that's where the risk comes in from what I've heard. However, there may be someone here who can walk you through it. Of course, don't expect Mac OS X to be super-snappy. I still stand by my recommendation of purchasing something like a Mac mini, but wait until Macworld is over in case Apple releases something new on the hardware side.
