IMac Flatscreen Conversion Bezel Retro RPI4 Project

This is a bezel to convert an old IMac to a flatscreen display since the old display is a CRT monitor there needs to be a round bezel on the flatscreen to fill the gap.

This started as a project of mine to run a raspberry pi 4 in a IMac case. I wanted to upgrade the monitor to a flatscreen so I took a screen 14.1 inch from an old macbook(see parts list)

First I stripped the IMac of its internals, keeping just the case (see pictures). I added some kapton antistatic tape inside the IMac case to insulate the interior metals from the exposed controller board. I printed the laptop screen bezel and glued it in place to the Laptop screen metal bezels using epoxy. I then glued the 3d printed bezel to the IMac case at the corners using quick set epoxy. Lastly I attached the Raspberry Pi to the Laptop screen controller board and the screen. Fires up running Raspian.
