If you're not on the intel chips, there's not a lot they can do as they had to eventually stop supporting the PowerPC chips.

I was happy to get 4-5 good years of use out of an iMac with no major upgrades or problems. I had hard drives fail in two, which basically meant plugging in an external and running off of that.

I'm currently on a Mac Mini plugged into a 27" flat TV as a monitor. I forget it's there unless I need to turn it back on after a power outage or plug something in.
