I recently had a 20" iMac (Mid-2007 Aluminum) die during a thunder storm. It was six months out of warranty, and an Apple Genius quoted my $953 to repair. Obviously buying a new MAC is more cost effective than fixing this one, so I purchased a new MAC Mini. But what should I do with the dead one? After an hour of tear-down, me and the boys at work found a few entertaining uses...

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

Project Summary:

• Teardown the iMac (guide)
• Completely remove ALL internal components
• Place a solid sheet of white construction paper under glass screen
• Reassemble chasis
• Have fun drawing

Thats it! Now its time for you to show everyone what YOU can do with a dead iMac.

P.S. Apple, please revise the iMac to include an external video input. Heck why not add USB-KVM functionality. Think of it as a docking station for your MacBook. I bet most of us would gladly pay for it... just saying.
