Hack a 2008 iMac to get Target Display Mode
I just picked up our first Mac for my company's lab, a $200 used 2008 iMac. While I was setting it up, I was looking at its nice screen and thought to myself, "Gee. It'd be nice to use this Mac's screen to display my PCs and servers." I did some Googling and found a feature called Target Display Mode, and wouldn't you know that it doesn't work until late year 2009 iMacs! Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
My question is: Can I grab another Motherboard/Processor and install it in this Mac to get the required hardware for Target Display Mode? I'm an experienced PC builder, so I've got the skills and tools to accomplish the task. If it is possible, can I get directed to a compatibility guide and potential issues?
Thanks in advance!
