Update on upgrading my iMac

I posted a few months ago about whether I should upgrade my mid-2007 iMac or just buy a new or slightly used one. Well this weekend I finally went ahead and replaced the old HDD with a 240GB SSD, for the grand sum of $89 (plus another $10 or $15 on tools and a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter). It's made a big difference to the speed and I think I should get at least another couple of years out of this machine, so definitely a good investment for $100 or so. Before, opening programs or waking up from sleep was painfully slow, now it just takes a few seconds.
I haven't upgraded the RAM yet - still at 4GB - just going to see how that goes.
I also spent about $20 on cables so I can use the old internal HDD as an external disk for additional storage if I need it. Just need to find a scrap piece of aluminum to enclose the old drive.
