I visited the UofM recycle center and found some video adapters and this Apple BT kb at the cost of scrap. Pretty dirty, and baby wipes would not clean the grease, so had to resort to isopropyl alcohol. A dent below the arrow keys and a scuff by the eject button, but otherwise fully functional.

And a trip to Savers netted me this miniature PC to go with my mini-Mac collection. Oversized mouse, non-functional everything else, except it takes three AA batteries and can play AM/FM radio.

Not quite as cool as this project, but less time consuming and cheaper.
