Fun fact: a lot of the old iMac make rather decent Linux boxes.
Yes -- good prices and good screens. I use Fedora on an iMac with a hybrid
drive (SSD+rotating) where SSD has failed. I have also used iMacs with external
firewire drives after the internal drive failed.
There are also kits that convert an iMac to a monitor.

Apple systems mostly have good reliability, so if you are a business it is
cost effective to use them until they break or don't meet requirements
and then buy new ones.
