    About to purchase an actual iMac for the first time

    I'm also about to order a real iMac (tomorrow, actually), and I've been playing with the configuration options quite a bit so I figured I'd weigh in with my thoughts on this. I've always had a real Mac laptop and other Apple devices floating around, but started building the Hacks to be my...

    How to bring your Apple Pro Speakers Back To Life!

    Love this! I've been trying to source the subwoofer from a set of Harman/Kardon Soundsticks to do something like this for a while (the Soundsticks use the same drivers so the equalization curve for the speakers should be the same) but this is a very nice and clean looking mod!

    My Classic Hackintosh - Macintosh SE / 30

    This is fantastic! It looks great so far and I can't wait to see how it turns out! Where did you find a suitable screen with that resolution? It seems perfect for this mod.

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    Well, that's pretty much a given at this point! The internal layout of the Quicksilver (specifically the "shelf" in the middle of the case, and the exhaust fan cage) are much nicer to work around modern components than the ones in the Sawtooth. I'd be switching around a lot of internal parts...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    Always pick up a Mac when it's free! Even if you don't end up modding it yourself, it's always good for parts for other mods and, if nothing else, you can always find someone who wants it again and save it from the landfill. On another topic, I'm getting ready to start a major round of...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    All picture links have finally been updated and should be working again. Thank you, Apple, for taking down the MobileMe gallery and not putting a similar feature in iCloud. I know it's been a while since I have updated this thread, but the computer has been up and running for several months...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    Sorry about that... darn Apple closing the MobileMe gallery! I've just moved, but I will get them re-hosted as soon as my server is up and running.

    Apple Cube 2.0 - i5-2500T - GA-H67N-USB3-B3 - 16GB RAM - SSD

    Very nice work! I love how clean this mod is and the attention to detail with small things like the cable routing... makes a huge difference. Does the graphics card work properly even with the PCIe extension cable? I remember reading something about the latency causing issues for graphics...

    PowerMac G4 mod

    Don't give up just yet! You shouldn't have any problem aligning the parts, but from your picture it looks like the cutout you made for the I/O shield is way too far away from the first expansion slot. That's the whole reason the pillar on the back has to come out in the first place... the edge...

    A clear Cube with a few differences.....

    Re: Yep, another Cube! This looks fantastic so far! Resisting urge to start looking for another Cube (can't gut my working one!) and tackle something like this myself. I'm curious how the core attaches/releases from the outer shell, as it looks like you've removed the handle mechanism that...

    New Player - Low Profile Intel DH61AG mini-ITX - G4 Cube

    Re: New Player - Low Profile Intel DH61AG mini-ITX Indeed, an upgraded Cube is a fun machine! I've got mine tricked out with a 1.4GHz G4, 1.5GB of RAM, a quiet cooling fan, and a Radeon 7500. It runs Leopard fine and it just plain screams in Mac OS 9. If you want to smooth out the video...

    superandy07's G3 Mod

    Very nice looking mod! I love seeing stuff done in the G3/G4 case designs... always giving me more ideas. How is the cooling with that fan configuration? I'd also like to see how the back panel came out.

    20" Lampshade iMac G4 running Lion via Sandy Bridge ECX mobo

    Re: 20" iMac G4 running Lion via Sandy Bridge ECX board Very nice work jberg! Glad to see one of these done that stays as an all-in-one computer. I've browsed your blog extensively in the past as I've been thinking of doing something similar but with a different approach for the motherboard...

    my hackintosh i a Lian Case

    Very nice and clean and still kinda G5-like with that mesh case. I love the glowing Apple on the top!

    Lion won't wake from sleep after RAM upgrade

    Thanks for the quick responses guys. Hibernate file seemed like a good call, but didn't seem to resolve it. There's plenty of disk space for the file and the hibernate mode was already set to 0 (it's a desktop, so this is standard). Still pondering what to try next.

    Lion won't wake from sleep after RAM upgrade

    I've run into a peculiar issue with my rig that has been bugging me all weekend. A quick bit of background to explain: Originally, I had 12GB of RAM... configured as 6 2GB sticks in triple channel. Everything was completely stable and working properly, including sleep and wake functionality...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    As I've been experimenting, I decided that I was getting pretty disappointing range out of the internal Bluetooth. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the MacBook antenna I was using or if it's just attenuating from being too close to the metal chassis, but my Magic Mouse is...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    mt3dartist, I'd suggest checking Tony's recommended builds and using one of the CustoMac Minis as your specs if you want to go the ITX route. They're well supported and should be stable with a minimum of fuss. As for ESD, well... it's one of those things that I should be more concerned about...

    Apple IIe Casemod for Sandy Bridge CustoMac

    Awesome project, Tony... can't wait to see how it turns out! The keyboard will be a pain but soooo worth it to the finished project! Something else you should consider, if you haven't already, is putting a slot-load optical drive into a Disk ][ drive casing to go with it. The 5.25 floppy slot...

    Project: Quicksilver Power Mac i7

    mt3dartist, Thanks for the comments and I do fully encourage you to build your own, but I'm afraid there isn't much in the way of a tutorial when it comes to case modding. It's all about figuring out what you need the project to do and balancing this with the practical considerations of what...
