Very cool, even though I despise Apple. Ha

I’ve been doing the same thing with a 20" white Intel iMac, but have had one helluva time. None of the display controllers work with the native LG 1600x1050 display Apple put in these things, so I’ve basically gutted the iMac and am putting in a new display, etc.

@diemen112 Tried four different ones, all allegedly specific to the LM201W01 SL A3 that was in the iMac. None worked.

Not to hijack the thread, but this is how mine turned out.
