Totally disassembled the keyboard and it looks awesome. I could even fit a mATX I bet.Ĭleaned the case and keyboard. The major LCD components are mounted inside of the cowling using an old power supply case as a tray that is riveted to the cowl, and standoffs on the left side. LCD is secured with plastic epoxy guides to keep it centered and corner brackets on the lower back and some home made L brackets on top. LCD used 12V with ground so a simple hookup to yellow and black from a molex connector was all that was needed. Bezel was cut with a Rockwell bench mounted jigsaw and a metal blade. Test fit of bezel (with blue painter's tape on it) and a test of the 12v power hookup to a pc power supply. The first project was to fit and power the LCD. Test fitting of LCD and components involved some thought as to where to locate things as to cause the least if any disturbance to the outside of the case. I had many ideas, so to help clarify, I disassembled the eMac to see what would work. I have been following many of the modders on Tonymacx86 and have contacted a few for suggestions (thanks Neil!). So I have the eMac, and a 17" lcd to retrofit in a similar fashion to Tom Ierna's retrofit. I was able to nab an eMac on eBay for $2.3 US.
