First things first - no little 512K Macs were harmed! ;-)
I inherited a 512K Mac with nothing except the CRT inside. The CRT since went to a collector as spare part and I'm left with the case. I thought about what to do with it. Feels it'd be wrong to put something trivial like a Raspberry Pi into it.
As I've got a Mac Mini G4 left I thought about planting it inside. It should fit easily. Using the unofficial OS9 install from OS9lives.com I should be able to turn this into a compact OS 9 Mac. Arguably, I'll need to put a small TFT monitor into the case and I need to see what can be done about the ports / cabling on the backside.
I'm pretty certain others have been doing this before, so I'm looking for advice. Like, any recommendation on TFTs that fit the case and have a good picture quality? (must have DVI for the Mini)
