Hello, I just find a solution to change easily the text file (no needs to unplug your hard drive!). 1- in application, right clic on after effect icon, then show package content 2-find the file "raytracer_supported_cards" . you cannot modifie it but you can duplicate...

absolutely amazing !!!!!!:headbang: congratulations for this great job.:clap::clap::clap: I have just one question for my own imac mod: do you have no problem to power all this with only a pico PSU? this one it still holding up and have you some problem of stability? I currently have...

Hi Kiwi, how absolutely amazing job !!!:headbang::headbang::headbang:!!! I just found out that you had to find a way to control the brightness via Mac OS X .... that's exactly what I need for my power iMac mods !!! this will concern my last last last step because it will control not only...

Hi feczo, glad to see a new iMac saved from the trash !!! Good luck and enjoy yourself well in your mods. like you I almost make my own circuit for rear panel output (the original motherboard creating too many unintended contact) but I want to re-use the mini VGA Output... I thought...

I finally connected the original case fan on 5 v output pico psu. working hardly on after effect for my job, iMac tended to heat a bit too much. Then temperatures remain perfectly mastered, the cpu fan never exceeds 1700 rpm, the whole is much less noisy.

power consumption I measured with a power meter power consumption with the current configuration. It exceeds far not the 95 Watt (on after-effect hard work condition, I don't test whith game). I think therefore have flexibility required to install the DVD player, audio amp, and of course the...

Mounting 53 mm will be available to place the motherboard and dvd combo The metallic support was cut to allow more place for the motherboard. It will serve to fix the dvd combo, the SSD and graphics card. the housing bottom is rid of the useless sinks and screw support. Standard PC case...

Hi wingworm, really happy for your new configuration...:thumbup:... the former was a reference for me, especially for the reuse of pro speaker and rear audio output, and I have never had the opportunity to thank you for your work....so ....thank you very much!!! The passive cooling solution is...

Hi Jascha! I hope your mods also work !!! I hope my experience will be useful to many! Actualy the iMac runs only with the CPU fan. I tested with the original case fan but it turns always at maximum speed (I think to have wrong adapted the connector, if anyone know of good connection ?)...

thanks kiwisincebirth ! I also think it is a bit too much...:mrgreen:... but I try !!! I have big doubts about the necessary global power and temperature management. but we'll see!!! I monitor temperatures. with the original fan temperature are correct but the noise is unbearable (no speed...

ETHERNET/USB I used a simple shielded ethernet cable. thoroughly test the absence of resistance and contact between the pin. same for USB 2 and 3 which uses the internal conector of the motherboard to free the space around. the USB plug 3 is fixed on the PCB. For original...

Power button and test Dremel....epoxy and copper dust ....:sick: wire, solder braid and 2 pin connector all elements are connected .....:beachball:.... it works!!!!

DVI plug unlike most mods I made a directly connectable male DVI plug taken from the neck. I used a standard plug, changed the metallic shell and made a molding resin for insulation. the 1 Kohm resistor is installed first and isolated wire contained in the gray...

Power I reused the original alimentaion as explained by dremeljunky ( http://www.dremeljunkie.com/2012/05/20-imac-g4-native-psu.html ). the only difference with the dremel junkie solution is that I did not use the 5 volt DVI output but the pico PSU. so this is the pico PSU which once powered-on...
