To do:
1) strip down and replace CPU with i5-2500S.
2) During re-assembly, replace HDD with ready-to-boot High Sierra SSD.

I don't doubt this will also entail some heavy-duty dust removal!

If time permits, which I seriously doubt, I might start on the 2009 27", which also gets a new CPU, and a replacement ODD. SSD already installed in this one.
