This is really impressive and cool. All you've done so far is the back I/O but it's looking like this project is going to look almost off-the-shelf quality. Very good work so far!

*First post updated to current status*

The Macintosh TV, huh? That may have been a little before my time, my first computer ran Windows 95. And my first Mac was 10.3 I think. And a small update on the system, a bug actually. The 750ti does not output higher than 1080p over HDMI in OS X for some reason, its just fine on Windows...

There seems to be a number of units on eBay of the LC II, LC III, and Performa family you may wish to check out. And if you're just looking for the case there seems to be a few of those pretty inexpensive. Thanks for the feedback as well.

Hey all, Today I benchmarked the system using GeekBench, Unigine Heaven, and did a disk test with Blackmagic Disk Speed test. The results are attached to the post. I'm not sure what to think of them. In other news, I've ordered a wifi card that should be compatible with OS X capable of...

Yep, that's the one. It's one of the few 750/750ti GPU's in the form factor I was looking for, Low Profile and able to be used with a single PCIe slot. I will post some benchmarks of the whole system as soon as I can. I need to look into what other people on the forum generally use in their...

Hey iCubeFan, I've done a little bit of light gaming on it, but I haven't gone too heavy usage yet. And I'm not running added power. It seems to be running fine, and from the picture you can see the ribbon cable I have can utilize added power. I could potentially adapt one of the SATA power...

I considered that. And you would be right, however I did not have the motherboard close enough to the opposite edge for it to work, if the board was just a bit farther over it would work. And having the bottom cut out would also allow more air to enter than what I did in the top. Another...

Hello all, Today is the day for the install log post. It's actually a pretty easy install, I followed alancurry's Thin mini-ITX build for a base. And a big thank you to him. Installation Notes: NOTE: My Nvidia GTX 750ti was NOT installed into the system at this time, I will touch...

Sorry guys, no install log yet! But there's a reason for that, because.... This arrived! A GTX 750ti, that just so happens to fit within the case. Although the 6 in. PCIe ribbon may be just barely long enough as it does seem to pull a little on the solder joints, which isn't...

Here's just a few more pictures as requested. Both Windows 8.1 and OS X Yosemite are installed and working fine. I'll reply back later when I have time about the Yosemite install.

I'm running a 4670s, I decided that I might as well go with one the newest edition i5's since there wasn't much of a tangible difference in price for the older ones, and the 4670s seemed to be the right one for the price. This is the only SSD from Mushkin I've ever had, this one I have had...

A quick chime in, On the last picture of my previous post you can see on the right side of the picture is the factory grating for the computer, but on the left is is a appox. 80mm square grating, I carved the inside of the case to expose those grates and mounted a 80mm fan in exhaust there...

Good evening, I have a few shots of the build mostly put together, I just wanted to share. There's still some work left in it, I haven't gotten to the rear panel USB 3.0 yet, but this will hopefully give you guys a sense of scale to the build. Cheers

Majority of the build process. I used acrylic sheeting for most of the mod, as well as 6/32 spacers, both 1/2" and 1/4" long. These were especially helpful throughout the build. The spacers were available from McMaster Carr. I decided to try to completely make a custom back I/O panel...
