2nd display in an iMac case?

[Vocalvoodoo]

I think this would be a great product. Maybe it's just me though. I'd love to be able to buy a 24" Cinema display that's in an Alu iMac case so it would match my iMac. Of course it's purely for asthetic reasons, but it sure would be cool, and look GREAT!

Is there a way to rig an iMac screen to run like this other than that software whos name I forget? It would be great if I could buy a hosed iMac for cheap that had a functional display and rig it to run as a second display. Anyone tried this?

Im no expert, but I cant imagine enough people wanting that for Apple to produce it.

A monitor only imac lookalike. That's a great idea !!

I agree that it would have limited appeal and Apple would never make it. And I suppose that if a third party made one there would be copyright (?) infringements. Even if third party made one, it would exceed the cost of a whole iMac.

Samsung monitor + aluminum angle bracket + bondo = voila!

But how do you simulate the gradient?

...and how do you make it freeze up?

Yeah, I'm not sure how you would get around the patents on those.
