Separating the iMac

Posted by timothy on from the parting-the-twain dept.

Emous Pratt writes: "There is a neat article up on iMacLinux.net which talks you through separating the monitor and computer parts of the iMac. It is very detailed, with lots of cool screenshots including this one of the completed machine, and this one showing the machine is still working. This is useful if you want to run Linux and not run the monitor, or if your monitor is broken." Update: 02/03 19:37 GMT by T : Note for the curious: this is about the old iMac (CRT equipped), not the new lampish G4 variety.

    "Slashdot: News for Nerds. Stuff that matters"? Hey I love slashdot, but let's face it. It's "Slashdot: We like Linux. Not much else."

    I'll let you in on a secret. Our slogan's actually "Slashdot: We like Linux, Despair calendars, geek t-shirts, Eclipse workstation lights, binary clocks, penguin ties, LOTR, Star Wars, caffeine, Lian-Li aluminum cases, portable mp3 players, laser pointers, optical mice, LCD screens, NERF toys, anime, and pr0n."

    Walk to back of box.
    Unscrew Cable.
    Unplug Power Lead from box.
    Carry monitor away.

    Guess what - nothing broken in the process.

    /me stomps of to his corner wondering why on earth anybody would want a bloody mac.
