What can I do with a 27", Late 2013 iMac??

Hey everyone...

I've recently come into possession of a Late 2013 iMac - but cannot upgrade and Apple has labelled it at obsolete. It feels particularly unsustainable to scrap it but I also don't want it to just gather dust.

Upgrade the CPU?
Use the display as a third screen?
Anything else??

Any hints / tips would be helpful!

Thanks

Upgrading an iMac 27" I own a mid 2010 iMac 27" with 8GB RAM running OSX Yosemite. Like its owner, it's getting older and slower! But, I love the display and the keyboard and touch pad are still working. So ......... what are my choices to upgrade this to something better. I'm thinking that adding a MacMini might be the way to go but I would appreciate any advice from others. Cheers Bob
