@diemen112 That’s default calendar module that comes with MagicMirror.

First off, apologies for the necrobump — didn’t see a rule against it & did see the prompt but didn’t feel this warranted a new topic. Apologies if this is a breach of rules or etiquette here.
Anyway, @sonicgoose, I just came into an incredibly similar model (2006 iMac per the box, not sure of the specific model yet — diving into it tomorrow) without a motherboard, and my immediate thought was to turn it into an MM, leading me here. Wondering if you’d be down to do a quick rundown of your build or would be open to any question I might have after I take it apart tomorrow?
Thanks much!

@keaghoul first of all you need check the model nr. of the screen. its probably an LG screen, but i don’t know the model nr.
with that you can look on Ebay for a display controller for that particular screen.if the PSU is still oke you kan use that one. you have to check which outlet is 12V+ continue is. and you can power the screen with that.
also you need a inverter from 12v to 5v for the Raspberry.if you wan’t to use the the speakers u need also en simple AMP i use the TDA7297, i used a other one before but that one gives a white noise.
