I've never used an iMac, but from what little I've read their monitors are
difficult to calibrate -- too shiny. After looking at suggestions from
Geoff and Jayanand, it looks like the way to go is just order everything
from Tiger Direct and get exactly what I want. That's what I did with my
current PC. The assembly was effortless (my son did it for me). Actually,
it's not too ancient - AMD Phenom II 3.4 processor, 16gb ram, WD 10K rpm
boot drive and WD 10K rpm scratch disk. Maybe all I need to do is upgrade
the ram to 1600 mz 32gb ($250) and swap out the boot and scratch drives for
SSD's. Then I can see processes that took four seconds become
instantaneous. Or wait until it breaks.

you could get a big powerful iMac, or follow Jayanand's advice on a pc.
