Say you've got an old LCD that you're just dying to keep—here's your chance to turn it into an all-in-one. The 1"-thick VIA vm7700 has four screwholes in the back corresponding with the VESA-standard mounting bracket on the back of most monitors. Screw it on, and voila, you've got some invisible PC power. Here's what to expect under the hood:

• 1.0GHz VIA C7 or 1.5GHz VIA Eden ULV processor
• Ultra low power VIA CX700M2 system media processor
• Up to 1GB of DDR2 system memory
• A 2.5" HDD
• Gigabit Ethernet port and optional Wireless 802.11b/g module
• DVI-D, D-Sub and S-Video TV-out

Hey, is a make-your-own-Windows-XP-operated-iMac-from-and-old-monitor bolt-on! I doubt if the value of an old monitor outweights the disadvantages of having a non-integrated system, but I suppose there's a market for everything.

A price indication is always a nice addition in these posts...

There wasn't any price info yet - but as with most things: "if you need to ask the price..." it will probably more expensive than it should.
