iMac G4 17″ Intel Processor and Touch Screen


This is a computer mod of a 17″ iMac G4. The computer has been modified to function as an external monitor that can connect to any AV source. Currently it is connected to an Intel Core 2 Duo running Windows 7 that has been skinned to look like Leopard. The computer contains a resistive touch screen, which works very well with the iMacs movable neck. All wires run through the neck and can be connected via the back of the iMac’s base. As the original iMac used a non-standard TMDS connection, this mod was accomplished by replacing the LCD with a standard LVDS LCD, placing the monitor components (inverter/power source, lcd controller, keypad) into the base. This required rewiring the entire neck. The touchscreen wires also go down the neck and connect to the touch controller in the base. I am using a small windows computer that I have currently, but hope to eventually purchase a mac mini to have an upgraded touch screen fully functional iMac G4.

Its a brave new car, with digital screens on the dashboard and around the speedometer, plus LCD mood lighting and twitter integration. Ford introduced its updated SYNC interface, showing off a completely customizable dashboard, along with an open API that will allow other internet applications to easily plug into its upcoming lineup. They also showed off web applications streaming to the new Taurus SHO, including Pandora radio, Stitcher, and even twitter twitter integration will include a text to speech converter imagine listening to tweets while you drive.
