Is this Frankenmac possible?

[Shake 'n' Bake]

Hello everybody,

I was just remembering how cool the iMac G4 looks and I thought that it would be neat to put a G5 or later logic board in it. I know the iMac G5's board it a different shape, so that may not work. But if that wouldn't work could I put a Mac mini logic board in there?

I know they made up to a 20'' model, but I'd like to know if I can go bigger to at least 22'' and ideally 24''.

Any input is appreciated!

I think a mac mini would fit well, definitely not an iMac though.

Thanks. I'll try to find the dimensions of the logic board of both.

The mini in a G4 iMac idea has been around for about 3 years now, its not without its problems but good luck. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/224698/

Thanks. It doesn't seem too hard. The 20'' idea doesn't seem that out there either. I'll see if I can pick one up somewhere with a busted logic board cheaply.
