The power supply and monitor section are on the same board, power goes
directly to it via the PCB tracks. You could blank the display by turning
down the screen control, easily accessible from the side when the base is
off.
Well, that answers that.
The 20" monitor would run at the iMacs max resolution, 1024 x 768. Everything will be rather large, 1024 x 768 is better suited to a 17" display.
You know, I thought about that --- is that because the built-in display can't be turned off, so the OS is restricted by that monitor as to resolution settings?
I seem to recall that if you used an external monitor with a tray-load model (and disconnected the built-in display) you could go all the way to 1600xsomething, whatever was the limit of VRAM. Seems odd that there wouldn't be a way to make the later models use more of their VRAM for that as well.
