Mac Mini In G3 iMac Case...

2009-05-03 Thread Simon Royal
Hi I love the G3 iMac and miss it. I was thinking of stripping the insides out of a G3 iMac - leaving the screen there and replacing it with a Mac Mini. If I mounted it in the right place I could use the slot in the front of the iMac for the drive slot and hook up the existing speakers. O

Oh, I've got a few of those stripes (blue and yellow) in my Core Duo iMac. They appeared a while ago... probably a bad contact with the display connector, or a screen defect. Either way, the solution is replacing the entire screen, which is pricey (and my iMac is out of warranty). I ended up buyin
