Shoe horning Arm Mac hardware plus OLED screen in a iMac G3 case 

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/23

Only do this when your G3 is broken beyond repair!

This particular example shows how to shoe-horn an Apple Silicon based Mac Mini into a the very first incarnation of an iMac: a classic iMac G3 case restoring both plastic, and using 3D printed mounts to ease assembly/disassembly.

Still cool as it is flexible so also allows for other Mac hardware like a Mac Studio.

The screen is a 14 inch 16:10 screen which is very expensive over here:

Likely a 4:3 OLED screen has less visible bezels.
