Thanks Stork, I have just managed to replicate your hector build while running El Capitan. Clover would have been an hurdle too high to face alone, I am lucky enough to have a network specialist living in my place for the holidays. I never managed to create my Unibeast installer with the copy of...

Still under Maverick thought I have not used any expansion slot on the Z87X-UD3H and I am now thinking about replacing it with a H97N-wifi to bring back the elements into the SE/30 box. When I bought the Z87X-UD3H there was some discussions about waiting for the Z97 chip to take more advantage...

By a floor standing drill press I wonder if something smaller would work :

What kind of tool are you using to drill those holes so nicely, I was looking forward to create a special mesh to protect the fan on my mod but using a drill was a disaster.

There is some progression but at the same time some ideas proved to be dead ends for exemple the result for drilling holes in a sheet of metal for hiding the fan was not satisfactory. Though I am posting the illustrator design and the positioning. The blue plastic frame will be painted white...

I have tried to enter the Bios to revert to 3.5 GHz by holding delete at startup but it's only displaying the boot options. Will I need to reset the motherboard with the black button or am I missing something ? I had to update with Multibeast the ALC898 sound setting after the 10.9.3 download...

Eventually I had an opportunity to download Mavericks while away. The last time that I updated my hardware was with the MacBook Pro in 2007... It means that I have some issues with my existing material and softwares. Amongst those I have a perfectly fine Epson Projector which use VGA plugs and...

I had to stop making some noise on the box and took the opportunity to verify the integrity of the setup. Everything appears in the bios settings and I'm glad that the Arctic Freezer ventirad is cooling down the processor to 30º.

Progress was slowed down as I had to avoid using the power tools to care for my neighbour who is doing the night shift this week. I took the opportunity to join the parts together to verify if something was damaged from the buying list...

Some progress today but not entirely satisfactory, the positionning and size of the holes was done too quickly and I will certainly patch up the space with a new part cut on the column drill.

I have created a new topic in the Mods section to show the progress as a step by step for the building of the case. http://www.tonymacx86.com/others/130203-pmlondons-ip-i7-march-2014-customac-pro-mod.html

This is the original Mod that I had in my mind before I came across a SE/30 case which proved to be too small for my project. Building a Hackintosh is something completely new for me, I thought it would be a shame to use a ready made case as it lack's personality. The case is curved on the top...

Exactly what I was hoping to read, It's wired via USB, now I just need to reacquaint myself with the French config, thought during the setup of the bios A & Z will be swapped with Q & W. links : Tool for cleaning keyboard : http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B000C17IAM/?tag=tonymacx8607-21 cpu...

Just had a thought, I havent mentionned which keyboard I intend to use. Is there any difference in the architecture of the one I had with the G4 at 1.25 ghz and the most recent ones ? I'm quite fond of the white and transparent keyboard and would rather spending the money in more RAM and...

I wanted to edit the previous message but it keeps creating a link... Everything is ordered now, I'm glad to have bought the mobo when it was at 131 € 74, there is no discount anymore. Final cost (which is excluding some pre owned items) is detailed like this : DVD burner : 23 € 81 Power Unit...

I was trying to avoid buying some twin 4 Go memory to be able to reach the 32 Go later but this offer http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/154576099/crucial-ballistix-elite-memoire.html is making me consider to reach only 24 Go. Is there an issue in mixing 8 Go of Elite and later on using 16...

Today I have bought the SSD and when I realised that the delivery for the SATA HD could take 2 weeks I decided to use my 3 external hard drives for saving the files and use the SSD only for the OS and Applications. I would like to know if it's going to make a big difference between buying later...

I'm starting to regret not buying the 16 Go of RAM when it was priced at 108 €. I have just found the Low profile version and was just wondering if this kind of shrinking was a source of faults in the long run ? http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00A14ZTRO/?tag=tonymacx8607-21 There was a PCI Firewire...

I have decided to keep the box intact for another project, making a wooden extension isn't the best tribute to this oldie. Regarding the building of the full sized setup for the i7 processor I will post the mod of the case in a new topic as soon as I start taking pictures of the assembling...

The bulk of the spending has now been reached, I only need to buy the SSD, HD and the memory. I have recovered from the AMD Athlon a front panel with 2 USB plugs and 2 jack for the audio, can they be connected to any USB slot on the motherboard ?
