Do you want to sell your copy? :P
I don't have anything to offer, but Newegg has a number of budget ATI cards in your price range.
Damn, I need to register for an IT course sometime.
Exactly the two ideas I'd had. I think I prefer the second. I suppose I could take the old picture tube and place the softened plexiglass on it to get a precise curve. I don't care if I can see a...
Nice! I need to figure out how I'll get the curved face to fit on a flat LCD>
Just double-checked... the connector on Apple's adapter has the exact same connector as the one in the eBay link above. So it looks like it should be easy to use the slot-load CD-ROM in a PC with...
I think it is.. the drive is connected by a similar adapter - small black connector on the device itself to a 50-pin IDE/SCSI ribbon cable. 40 of the pins are regular IDE as 10 of them are...
Hmm. I think I found something:

I am pretty sure it's an IDE drive on the inside, as you say, just a funny adapter.
The LCD...
I don't see why a couple of fans + air filters wouldn't do the trick.
Man, the one around here doesn't have that kind of stock.
Nice. I'd like to try a mineral-oil PC sometime as well. Time, space and budget don't permit at the moment, though.
Good luck, look forward to seeing this come to fruition.
I'm trying to find finished mods online, and they seem to be few and far between. As it stands I only see a couple of problems off the bat:
1) Getting the LCD to fit (bezel's curved a bit to...
I did just put the P4 up on eBay, I don't expect it to fetch too much, here's the auction:

If it doesn't...
Yeah, maybe we could work something out if postage isn't too much. I'm not trying to be cheap or a lowballer or anything, I've just had to re-prioritize funds a little lately and this kind of stuff...
Luke, You're right. Brain fart or typo on my part. I forget which one it was this time. :facepalm:
What kind of troubles were you having? If it's nothing too serious, I'm interested.
I'm...
I also wouldn't mind trading the P4 CPU for a Socket A motherboard. I'm kinda thinking I want to keep the Athlon... I have a HSF for it already, and I have an old iMac that I may want to use for my...
Awesome, thanks. Much appreciated.
EDIT: Dammit, can't add rep to you until I spread it around yet.
Sorry, forgot to mention it's a 768(B?). One of the ones with the plastic supports in the motherboard and the annoying clips over the fan:

I also have a P4 1.7 GHz CPU that I pulled from an old Dell... it was working until I broke something on the motherboard trying to pop the CMOS battery out.:facepalm: A few pins are slightly bent,...
Damn, wish I had the spare cash right now. I really need a video card upgrade.
Pun intended?:think:
Haha. Yeah, shipping would be the problem with those.
Haha! I was thinking about scavenging for an old 15" LCD... haven't done any measurements to determine what kind of room I'd have for the actual PC components yet.
Come to think of it, I may have...
Just got a freebie. It's got to be in the 300 - 450 MHz range, so I'm not sure how useful it will be on its own... but the big CRT inside takes up a lot of room that could be put to better use.

A general rule of thumb when multi-booting Windows OSs is to install the oldest version first, newer versions will generally find the old ones and add them to the bootloader.
However, if you've...
