iMac G4 monitor mod

[Adokimus]

I had a quick question regarding a mod I'm considering with a G4 iMac 17". Basically, I want to dismantle the original machine and make a new box to connect to the G4's arm and display. However, I remember reading somewhere that the G4's display used some type of proprietary connector and that this would be impossible. Can anyone who has more knowledge on this than me let me know if I can do this? Soldering is not a problem if needed. Thanks so much for any help!

Its been tried numerous times. Do a quick search I know a few threads exist here on the topic. I think its been abandoned each time.
