# Project
Swap out the internals with something bearable. Design adapters for display and tailgate I/O board
Side I/O could also work with an adapter
Back of case is no problem (besides PSU specific mounting method) since I do not have the original plastic back for it
3D print something after internals are settled

## Display
See https://github.com/w4b-zero/IBM_4820-48T/tree/main for a project related to another monitor model. See if documents, notes are applicable here.
High priority to get touchscreen working with adaptor. It works over serial so it shouldn't the that difficult once pinout is done and adapter is made. EloTouch drivers can be found... (see above)

## Power supply
130W PI Electronics from 2006 (!)
Failing fan
Proprietary cradle for locking in case
Could swap out internals with something modern
