Hack mac laptop to be a mac tablet in 15 minutes or DIY Cintiq

Step 6 Visit links of better made versions.

These are others I have found on the intertron. They are all better than mine. But they all required more than 15 minutes to make.

The original DIY cintiq.

Any thoughts on doing this with an iMac?

Take it off it's stand and it's basically at Cintique size already, or mount it at an angle like a drawing board, and it's perfect!

Do you know if this would basically work the same way with an old swivel top imac screen? I don't actually need, or even want an OS on it, just want to use it as an external device on my macbook (which I love to much to risk breaking)

it should work on any screen as long as the internals don't get in the way and the power inverter is far away. I think you should probably look at the bongofish link to continue.
