3. No viruses? B.S. There aren't as many, but there are Mac viruses and worms.
4. 30000 games? More B.S. The Mac library isn't near that, probably <1000 games for the platform.
5. Really? How do I upgrade an iMac to a 17" screen? Newer video card? Etc. Sure, the high end Macs are upgradable and you can stick a CPU card in most of them but the consumer models are not upgradeable.

I've never once been infected with a virus or spyware in 3 years of using Macs online through ADSL connections. When using my PC I was infected within minutes of going online, and a weekly AdAware scan usually found 30-50 items.
If you want to use a 17" screen on your iMac just plug in an external monitor.
You can upgrade an iMac with a new CPU, hard drive, memory, optical drive. If you want to completely upgrade your old iMac you should just sell it on Ebay (Macs hold their value extremely well, unlike PC's) and get a new model - it would probably work out cheaper than buying all the bits yourself, even if that were possible.
