One project i’ve seen done is an ‘all-in-one’ Mac using a CRT monitor
casing. it's done by removing the actual tube and replacing it with
the LCD screen from a dead ibook. a Motherboard/CPU from a shell
broken G4 Quicksilver, HDD , DVD RWs etc could then all be mounted
internal to the CRT case, behind the LCD,
i have to admit, some of the crt cases i’ve seen have looked really
nice (mainly the beige).
alternatively, from the new crt monitors i’ve had open, there is
usually a bit of free space. how about mounting a Mac mini board in
the crt casing?
