The 21" Frankenstein iMac

Posted by Hemos on from the it-lives! dept.

webslacker writes "One of the strangest hardware hack jobs I've ever seen: Some guy named Don Hardy decides that he doesn't like the 15" monitor in his iMac and happens to have a 21" Nokia lying around. Does he A) find some clever way to solder a VGA-out from his iMac to his monitor, B) toss them both out, or C) take them both apart and merge them into one unit? "

    anyone else suspicious that they're is a Mac under the table?, I'm not saying he didn't do it. it's just it looks so much like a monitor with a keyboard in front. also he doesn't talk very much about it technically, more comically. most of the technical talk is about how hard it was to get the cd-rom in. the cd-rom being the only visible proof that anything was done to the monitor.

    His new machine no longer has a transparent blue casing! Avert your eyes my Mac brethren, it is a snare set by Satan to tempt you to the beige side!

    You call that an iMac? You are a tool of the PC imperialist dogs! Vive la France! No WTO! Anarchy!
