I think this is a good idea but as mentioned in the article the connectors to keyboard and monitor are hard. I guess there are XF86 standards and stuff for the keyboard but I still find it hard to think that it will behave exactly like the original. Further, I would like to see more info on if the LCD gets working with the RPi because it seems like a great project. Still, good luck with how the conversion works in the end!

I was actually quite suprised how hard it is. The amount of different LCD and subsequent separated driver panels that are possible in configuration is absolutely huge. To be honest I am a lot less worried about LCD working then keyboard, since in the worst case I would need to rewire the whole one manually. But for LCD I will hopefully have everything needed after getting my specific LVDS driver board

  A mapping for the keyboard matrix can be "discovered" by pressing all keys in sequence. There are lots of AVR-based projects that emulate an USB HID for a custom keyboard matrix or other input; for an example, see [1][2].
