so i have an ibook G4 that has a broken hard drive, but the screen still works. i was wondering if it was possible for me to be able to hook it up to my mac mini and use it as a second monitor?
 
Unfortunatly no, the only macs you cna do this with are some of the newer iMacs, but your iBook cant be used as an external display.
 
Only the 27" iMac can be used as a second display, but you can take a look at ScreenRecycler, though you need an OS on your iBook to use it (manageable via using an external Firewire HDD to boot an OS from).
