Awesome, WORKS! Thanks so much. I wish I'd known that at the start of a weekend trying to resurrect a blind hackintosh. Maybe that should find it's way into the first post?

OK so these instructions are extremely vague. I cannot boot to the 10.9.2 system but I have an exact duplicate with 10.9 that I can boot from. I have IOJones installed but when I search for GFX it turns up GFX0@2. fine... there are 3 framebuffers 0,1,2 2 is the one with the display, but the...

10.9.2 and my "James Brown" build (ga h87n-wifi / i5 4440 / 1 x 8GB ram / SSD) just don't get along... I'm running into the draded HD4600 HDMI blank screen issue. Has anyone found a fix for this that can easily be described and implemented. It's driving me nuts. Toleda's frame buffer...

Bravo. Nice to have these issues investigated and resolved before I really begin work on mine.

Snap. I didn't take this into account with my build. I was going to mount a USB audio adapter right where the rear ports are. Now I'm thinking I'll have to get a couple of headphone extenders and run the internal mic of that further up the line. Thoughts?

The Antec PSU came and I'm delighted to say that it's smaller than I expected... with the right kind of right angle connectors I could probably use all the USB ports. I could probably mount the PicoPSU (pins down) directly behind the usb DVD drive if I cut a notch out of the USB Hub's...

OK, I'm going to jump into the picaxe thing, even though it's way beyond my level of competence. You talked me into it. ;) I am trying to put together an exhaustive parts list for all of your custom circuits as I go. I would also like to know the bare minimum setup for programming the picaxe...

This kind of captioned photo guide is absolute gold for a dummy like me. This is the clearest visual explanation yet, and saves me a trip to the dremelJunkie labarynth. Now, I wonder if I could talk one of you guys into selling me the custom led controller pre assembled, I have no idea where...

My exact model (DC3217BY) has 3 USB connectors, and no USB headers. I am planning to use all three of them and 4 on the Hub. 4 iMac Connectors (maybe 2 from the NUC mobo + 2 from the hub) 1 for sound 1 for USB My model has no USB 3. Nope, spring loaded, no motor. I guess we'll...

Looking... oh, that's smart! Just ordered 2. In general, I'd love to adopt all of your custom bits, like the led controller, fan controller, brightness toggle, etc, but they're way beyond my level of competence. -Dale

Sure, Sorry about that. Got all excited... Update: My Build, Roundhouse is over here »

OK, you guys think I'm crazy don't you? ;) Eternal optimist I guess, but... since the NUC (mobo only) is smaller than a 3.5in HD, despite the Antek Brick issue, it won't be a problem to put it up there. The Antek Brick will actually fit below the slim DVD drive The 24V Upconverter will...

OK, Can you smarter guys please comment on my plan? This traces all the connections I'm going to have to make. Corrections welcomed. [edit] A.2.iii TDMI to DVI instructions so I don't have to go hunting again. A) Power B) AC filter on iMac G4 Mobo C) Antek Power Brick...

A=75mm(w) x 75mm(d) x 32mm(h) B=67mm(w) x 57mm(d) x 22mm(h) About 40% of the area. Glad I don't have to put that big boy in.

My 24v upconverter came today, and I'm pleased to say that it is much smaller than I had anticipated, which will make installation much easier. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWL3940/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 On the right you will see a much bigger brick which looks a...

I already purchased this one (3A 72W). Will it work also?

That's awesome news. Someone smarter to figure out the hard stuff. ;) That's the exact power supply I was looking at. :) I think I can make it fit under my slim dvd drive unless you find a cleverer place to put it. I also have a big fat dell 90W PSU, that's hella ugly. But that may just...

Wow, much thanks guys. That is a lot of good information to save me from my own follies and arithmetic challenges. So, Rethinking this, maybe I'll have to use the original PSU to power the mobo and the picoPSU. I'll also look for a power brick that does more than 65W. Looking... Update...
