Project

Swap out the internals with something bearable. Design adapters for display and tailgate I/O board. Side I/O could also work with an adapter.
Back of case is no problem (besides PSU specific mounting method) since I do not have the original plastic back for it. 3D print something after internals are settled.

Display

See https://github.com/w4b-zero/IBM_4820-48T/tree/main for a project related to another monitor model. See if documents, notes are applicable here.
High priority to get touchscreen working with adaptor. It works over serial so it shouldn't the that difficult once pinout is done and adapter is made. EloTouch drivers can be found… (see above)

Power supply

130W PI Electronics from 2006 (!). Failing fan. Proprietary cradle for locking in case.
Could swap out internals with something modern.
