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.

    Now it would be great to have a tutorial on how to make the iMac Arm wall mountable.

    But do they have pics of their server up in smoke after a mid-Sunday Slashdotting?

    Damn, I was hoping to see pics of an LCDectomy. Actually, what I'd really like to see is a mod of the new lamp-like iMacs with the arm being robotic and software controlled. Have the monitor follow you as you move around the room...

    ...which says 12:17.
    I then looked at my computer's clock, which said "12:11".
    holy shit, I thought, slashdotted six minutes before even being posted to slashdot.

    Not that anyone cares. <AC.>

    How about using a sledgehammer to whack a Linux user (complete with dark shades, long greasy hair, prodigious gut, suspenders and living in his parent's basement at forty).

    Should take a little longer as most of the blow is absorbed by the hyperinflated ego.

    Let the flames begin!

  9. Look at these screenshots of my new boat by asb · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems necessary to inform those who have not seen the real world for a few years that "photograph" and "screenshot" actually are not synonyms.
