Wow! Thank you to everyone. It's great to know that I'm not alone in loving this design. One of my goals was to make this simple and reproducible. Even if you have no experience with modding, this can be done. Even if you don't go all the way with an all-in-one, you can turn it into an external ...

  @NicksLocker - Thank you. If you are ever interested, the 15" can be converted in a similar manner.

  @TW1ST3DLOG1C I have a step by step guide on my blog. This lends itself much better to that format. A video would be a whole lot of me trying to get tiny male pins to join to tiny female pins. I have a detailed step by step for the 17" and am finishing off the 20" version.

@skittb89 Yes, this particular mod was connected to an external mini. I do have a newer mod which uses a Sandy Bridge small form factor board and is an all-in-one, but as I was going for "a recreation" of the original G4, I did not include the touchscreen.

  Mickyd - yes I have. The older mac mini will fit. However, it fits in at an angle. As such, the drive is not usable. I. Addition, the power button is not accessible. In other words, the Mac mini would have to be opened and modified. I almost went this router, but ultimately did not want to ...

  The 27" has a piece of glass that is bonded to the front. So you would need a very custom screen. There is a company called troll touch which does this, but it's expensive

  Thank you very much. Unlike the 20", the 17" monitor cable and inverter can be wired to work with any DVI source. If you want to update your 17" and use it with a mac mini, you certainly can. The mod is MUCH EASIER than this one. Please see my blog for details. Just google "dremel...

  The entire monitor including the housing is actually a 20" apple cinema display. Using a dremel I cut out a portion of the front of the monitor and replaced it with a 5 wire after market resistive touchscreen. To find the one I used just go to ebay and search for "20.1" resist...

  @whatsup89100 - This mod is just an external touch screen monitor hooked up to a windows computer in the skeleton of an iMac G4. This is no longer how I would approach this mod at all. Please see my newer videos for the updated versions if interested.

  The native monitor of the iMac does not easily connect to any standard output (ex DVI). That is why I did this modification with the cinema display which does connect to a standard dvi signal.

  The most expensive components are the apple cinema display and broken 20" iMac G4. The touchscreen costs $100. You do need a soldering iron, dremel, glue, etc. But it really depends on how much you can get the monitor and iMac for - the prices on ebay vary widely.
