Build a PC Inside of a Mac

Cheap 9" monitors

[Consul]

You don't really need to go out of your way to find a 9" PC monitor. There's a place called Earth LCD [earthlcd.com] that has loads of surplus and overstock LCDs available, including touch screens. Some surfing around will come up with a good 8.5-9" color LCD with a VGA input.

I knew I had seen this before...

I saw another one of these a couple days ago, don't remember where I got the link, but I think this one [beanos.com] is much nicer, with an lcd screen and all. I think he is using the mac mouse and keyboard too... (not sure)

Alternate Choices

I would have thought that an old LCD panel or something would have been more usable in the case vs a nine inch monitor, which is a very rare bird indeed.

quick search on google only finds 9 inch monitors in monochrome, and ten inch color. He uses a ViewMagic [google.com], which currently only shows a 10" color available as new product.

odd fish indeed.

If you can pick out the meat of the article through the errors, here's how one guy did it [slcentral.com].

There are several Amiga DIY designs on Amiga Interactive Guide [emugaming.com]. You are probably thinking of the Suzanne - a custom designed A600 laptop fitted with a 68020 accelerator. There are also stories of one of the original Amiga team fitting an Amiga (A2000 I think) into an SX64 case.
