*****Although I bought it in 2009, I am reading on the forums that it is a 2007 model technically. Bought it straight from the Apple "build it site", use(d) it for post production, editing. What needs to be purchased/upgraded to get the new operating systems? It's set up, raided, etc - I definitely need a New Graphics/Display ~ I really got screwed on that purchase. Would like to spend less than $2K for upgrades as I already dished out $8k back in the day. God tech has come a long ways in the past 5 years FML!

Out of warranty/Please help!!! - I need to get this 'functional/current' in the most inexpensive way possible.

Recommendations GREATLY appreciated!!!
