Mac mini March: Turning a Mac mini into a touchable stereo
You have a Mac mini, and you have a 7 inch touchscreen monitor. Combine
the two and what do you get? A really cool stereo that lets you use iTunes to manage your tunes, and allows you to
watch the trippy visualizer as well, yet it is still small enough to be out of the way.
123Macmini.com posts the details
about one Mac mimi man who got rid of the keyboard and the mouse and controls his mini with a touchscreen that was
meant for a car. You can do it to your own Mac mini (or any other Mac for that matter) for a mere $350.
When will Apple start shipping Mac minis with an Apple Cinema Display mini?

Best of all, I've already seen somebody using it with a 500MHz G4 tower...

I think they're playing fast and loose with the numbers.
2400x480?!?!? Sounds a bit high on the horizontal side. (Apple's 30" LCD is 2560 pixels wide.) Reading lower we see...
Resolution: 1,152,000 pixels(2400X480 dots)
Aha. Dots. Methinks they're counting separately the red, green, and blue elements that make up an LCD pixel. I'd bet my next check it's really 800x480.
