What to do with 2009 iMac?

I have a 2009 24" iMac that has been replaced with a Macbook Air. I really don't need a second computer at all, it's been sitting in the closet for a couple of months.

The specs:

2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
640GB HDD

I probably can't sell it due to age and its weight and size (hard to ship).

I don't need a server of any type, I have a Mac Mini for that already.
Unfortunately I can't use the iMac as an external display since it's not supported for target display mode.
I was thinking of possibly using the iMac for storage and display of security cameras, but that's a lot of money I would have to spend and the only reason I would do it is to make use out of the old iMac, which seems counter productive.

What other options do I have for it?

Sell it, get what you can for it. Its not doing you any good anyways.

When I'm done with a computer, I usually give it to a friend or family member. The little bit of money I could get by selling it isn't worth as much as being able to help out someone who would consider my old computer an upgrade from what they're currently using.

I actually tried that, no one wants it

As for selling it like recommended above, shipping such a large, heavy, and delicate thing without it's original box would be problematic.

That hurts! You might check with a local school or church or other non-profit organization. There's usually a need for computers of pretty much any kind, and they're not as picky about what they will accept.
