Is there a way I can use the iMac monitor for my PC as well? I was considering using a Dremal (to make the hole) and a KVM switch.
Has anyone done this?
Let me know if you need more info. I wrote a big long explaination before, but my DSL went out at work and I lost it.

iMac Rev B, that's a standard VGA port on the back of the MOBO right?
I've allready considered Rackmounting the iMac, but that's too expensive.
$250-400!!! I'm willing to give up my 17" monitor to get access to the MacOS back.

TIA
Peace
