Ah but normhead, you could have a SSD in your 27" iMac :) I have two iMacs from around the same age, one at work and the other at home. I've put SSDs in both of them and they feel like new computers. The HDDs are usually the first thing to go. You just can't predict if or when. Could be 6 months, could be 8 years. Just had a HDD on a coworker's 3.5 year old iMac go. Just outside of Applecare's 3 year warranty. Put a SSD in and she couldn't be happier.

One thing I'd ask is: if something goes wrong with your computer, would you try to fix it yourself? The newer iMacs have a proprietary connector for the hard drive, which means if it breaks down the road, you have to go through Apple or hope that you can find a drive with that connector. The 21.5" models are supposedly a bit more of a pain to upgrade the RAM than the 27". However, Apple has done a great job at putting Apple stores everywhere so that you can bring your computer in for repair. Its warranty service is likely the best in the market.
I'd get either the 27" iMac because it's slightly easier to open and repair than the 21.5" or a non-all-in-one PC because it's more modular.
