so i found this video  

  of an "updated" TAM (twentieth anniversary mac). i know this isnt really an apple fourm but how hard would this be to put in a mac mini or intel nuc new screen and blu ray driver into basically a shell of the TAM?

 

thanks,

maybach123

Shouldnt be too hard. If your handy with a drill and screws. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Personally I don't see the point, but yeah, it's possible. Whether it is hard or not depends on the tools you have access to and your skill.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

the point for me is that i already own a TAM but it can only run os 9 and i would like to be able to use this as a real computer and i really just need a project xD

I'm pretty sure NUC will fit there with no problem, Mac Mini - eeeh probably, it's kinda hard to estimate the size of the TAM by the pictures. Hell, if you're really lazy you can go with ComputeStick (I/O is gonna be a pain though).

What do you mean by "media"? You can install something like XBMC on both of them and there will be no difference at all.

the original purpose for tam was to use for movies it even had a tv tuner in it. i want to use for the same purpose plus web surfing simple pc stuff. it will be a conversation piece for the most part.

I want to get a broken Macintosh Classic and put an iPad as the display or even a surface :P
