The fun of it would be taking out pretty much most of the analog board
and power supply and cobbling together some kind of interface that'll
understand the logic board's analog signals. I've heard someone actually
did this before but I haven't googletated for it yet.
With that concept in mind, how hard would it be to core out a iMac Mini,
put in an LCD from a POS display (with USB touchscreen!) and cobble the
entire thing together using an SE/30 case?
The question becomes... how classic are _you_. :)
Also, I wonder if anyone else besides Apple has grabbed the clue that
people want mini-ATX workstations w/ onboard displays?

It would have been way better, if he had put an LCD

case. It just looks weird, sitting next to another
monitor.

This one:
http://mini-itx.com/projects/mac-itx/?page=2 for
example,
is really quite impressive. It is nearly
impossible to tell unless
you note the keyboard and mouse.
I have had plans to do a mac-mini upgrade on an
old Apple for ages,
but I have had too much fun getting my old Plus
running to gut it :)

I have been working on something like this off

for about two year how. The one I'm working on

have an internal color screen. Unfortunately it

not use Apple electronics either. But now that
we have
the Apple mini maybe some day (when you can get
one
for $50 - $100 on EBay) I will convert one of
those.

the following URL was interesting:

It makes me a little upset no actual Apple

but it's still appropriate fodder for the
list...
