Has anyone put their iMac board and parts into a tower case? I believe that I am loosing my display on this machine and I DO NOT want to spend the money to replace it. I was wonderimg if anyone has ever moved there parts into a Minitower case. If you have, please post!

Thanks

Nick

Hi,

I am losing the display on my wife's iMac, and am preparing to move it, and a non-functioning iMac I just bought into a slimline rackmount cases.

There's no advantage to the tower, so I'm using as small a case as I can.

I'm still in the process of doing it, but once I'm done, I'm going to post a website documenting how I did it.

Until then, http://imac.pointinspace.com tells you about another person who did it.

in the meantime, you can hook up an external monitor to your iMac.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.
