Any chance of a picture? I'm kinda curious how bad it is.

Not sure how you would convert the VGA to the monitor's inputs. You can try reading the pages noted over here: http://www.tuaw.com/2006/02/06/mac-mini-inside-classic-mac-update/ but you'll probably need to run them through google translate or yahoo babelfish since they are in japanese.

I suspect that it would consist of hacking the end of both ends of a vga cable, soldering the one set of wires to the internal part of the vga socket (could just plug it into the vga port and only hack off the other end), and soldering the other to the crt. You'd most likely need to separate the wires into the red, green, blue, horizontal sync, vertical sync, ground signals and wire them up to the appropriate places on the CRTs analog board. Anyone feel free to correct me if they know better. WARNING - High Voltages present in CRTs and CRT circuity.
