I believe CRT requested a look at the speakers. This doesn't look like anything special to me. I wouldn't bet on Harmon Kardon having designed this one, brother. The LCD industry has gravitated to a few de facto standards for the form factor of this connector. Let's find out if Apple is going to respect de facto standards, or use a proprietary connector. Darn it, Apple! This is not the first time that a proprietary connection has made an apple project more trouble than it needs to be.
Just in case this restoration doesn't pan out, I can re-use that wi-fi card in one of my Mac Pro towers. I don't really need it for that, since I don't currently have an internet connection at home anyway. I'm just keeping that as an option in the back of my mind.
Gaah, I hate Apple proprietary connections! Maybe just disconnect the internal monitor and use that mini port output adapted the replacement LCD? Or use one of your huge silver monitors placed in front? How do those speakers sound? Apple usually have decent speakers even though they appear to be just plain.
