Is it possible to fit a mac mini into the "pod" of a flat panel mac?

Question

i have a  beloved (because of the form factor) flat panel imac. woiuld like to try retrofitting a mac mini so as to
take advantage of osx beyond 10.4.  does anyone know if this is physically possible, and will the mini graphics
hardware work with the imac display?

Answer 1

Another question, in the attempt to supply a display where the
iMac G4 panel presently is located, with power and signals,
not available does arise when a Mini is used.
The iMacG4 LCD has almost no circuitry outside domed base.
A Mini would have nothing to drive from its video display ports.
And it will not supply power to a display, both of these go missing
once the iMac G4 electronics are removed from Base half-dome,
& add another level of complexity to conversion. Likely, one may
need to utilize a complete LCD display panel entirely, somehow.
{Years ago, there had been a third-party repair kit for the chrome
arm, with replacement friction spacers, a tool, and misc parts.
It went missing, too early for most long-term owners. As one of
my iMac G4s arrived in the box with bent arm, I sought to get a
kit, but ended up hassling with an 'authorized' whackjob reseller
in Anchorage who did not want to help me because I didn't buy
the iMac G4 from them. This led to a year's worth of headache
excessive travel to attempt repairs, & no more new Macs. ufn.}
The topic has been mishmashed around awhile. Had looked into
the matter as a curiosity; I have three iMac G4 17" 1.25 models.
Along with a last-model G4 Mini 1.5GHz: In several ways it's best.
Nothing like a project, though.
