iMacs these days are fast enough for most tasks, even the low end ones. Just make sure it has USB 3.

You could probably get two Mac Minis and one 21 inch iMac (the all-in-one thing) for that amount of dough. New. Especially if you have screens.

The printing and sign work I do isn't that Hi Tech, I would imagine that even the lowest end imac should work. I don't have and monitors.

Two new Mini's at 600 apiece and a full warranty refurb 27in. iMac at 1359.00. Scrounge a couple of flat panels and keyboards for the minis.
Watch the refurb store page on apple.com as available items change daily.

And they are Macs, not "MACS".

I bought my last computer from them and saved a bunch of money. Make sure what you buy is made in 2009 or newer. Then you'll be able to use them for the longest time without needing to upgrade again. You'll need to upgrade all your current software if you upgrade to Mountain Lion.
