Mac mini inside an iMac G4

well, depending on how far you're willing to take it, anything is possible. However, I think the 6.5" sides may have difficulty fitting in the 10" diameter base.

Also, rigging the current display connectors can be very tricky, especially due to DVI output on the back of the mini. I think someone pulled off a VGA pinout once, but converting that back to DVI will take an obscene amount of effort.

And lets not even go into lining up the optical drive...lol

So yeah, you could probably do it, and I have thought of doing it myself, but it would take a lot of time and effort. I'd love to see one done though, so I 100% encourage you to do it!

good luck!

I have heard of several people trying this particular project, but have yet to hear of anyone successfully completing it. The problems seem to arise when you are trying to connect the mini to the iMacs built in display. Someone on the boards was trying this last year (IIRC), and they had a tough time getting the mini to fit.

oh please do it!!! I would love to see that and may inspire me to do it too! I just love the iMac G4, just not the specs. =)
