Does the Macintosh 512k Enhanced use a VGA connection?

I've been thinking about sticking my mac mini inside one of these things.. I'm just woundering what connection the CRT monitor uses. Is it VGA?

Somthing like this:

Nope, it's not VGA. The modern-computer-in-vintage-clothing hack is generally done by replacing the CRT with a modern LCD of similar size. I.e.:

Going in a different other direction... not relevant to your immediate goal but relevant to case mods in general: it is possible to hack a composite monitor connection to display VGA:
