I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini but I like the look of the iMac I have. Can I use the iMac as an external display.

The short answer is no. I mean, of course you can do anything — re-engineer the parts of the G4 into a monitor — but really, no, most people can’t do it.
Okay well I am good at wiring and I was thinking about taking the gut’s out of the G4 and I thought I would see if the mini would fit inside.
Wow, that’s quite a risk — at breaking both your G4 and the mini. But if you can afford it, go for it.
