MacEnthousiast I am pleased to see your project and read through this thread. The G4 Mac Cube is one of my favorite Apple products and I still own one of my G4 Cube hacks.

All;
I understand your concerns with small ones having access to coverless systems. This is not the case with my collection of systems.
My systems are on display in closed displays such as this.
And while in the display the systems are not powered. Also I have the displays anchored to...
Last September I found the Beelink U57 Mini PC on Amazon at a fair price and purchased one for my collection.
This is the system driving a Dell 24” display at 1920x1200 and in the background it is playing a video on the Samsung 55” HDTV. Audio over HDMI works as does Audio to the local 3.5mm...
I have just updated post # 1 in this chain of posts. I have redirected most of my energy to an old BMW K75 motorcycle trying to get it road worthy.
However I still check in here at Tonymacx86.com frequently. I have about 20 hacks and decided that it is enough even though I still get hooked...
Some place on the web I came across mention of the ZS OC case and found zscases.com using Google.
ZS Cases appears to be located in Australia. The ZS OC V1 is a my kind of product that is (in my opinion) very “industrial” in design and appearance. The product shipped from China via DHL to my...
Clover would not boot the Comet Lake CPU on the Z490. This led me to use Open Core 0.5.9. I installed Catalina and updated to 10.15.7 Supplemental. I found this to be no easy task and I do not pretend to understand Open Core.
I then updated to Open Core 0.6.3 and changed to iMac 19.1...
I saw this case on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FGGKX9W/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
I like the overall size and the handles. The pattern on the front panel is probably laser etch. The construction uses M3 screws with collars and silver colored pop rivets. The rivets are only...
Hey the markings including the model number are there someplace. On my 2007 iMac the information is printed on the bottom side of the foot so it is never seen in normal orientation.

2020 has been a busy year with much time to catch up on projects. We have been lucky and our circle of friends and family have avoided being directly impacted by Covid19.
This last year I have grown unhappy with the Clover releases and very unhappy with Open Core. I use both but think that...
I am still thinking about the anodizing which brings up the subject or what color would suite me best?
Anyway, the AMD OEM RX 580 ITX card arrived and I upgraded the macOS to 10.15.7 Supplemental version and the system continues to run without issue. I also cleaned up the top panel to reduce...
I was not happy with this area.
So I spent time to fabricate this modesty piece.
Hummm, better maybe.
And I have ordered an ITX size AMD RX 580 GPU which will allow me to run the current versions of macOS.
I am currently undecided about having the exterior pieces bead blasted and...
Phunguss, Just now I have read this thread from top to bottom and I am very impressed with your work. Having done a few Apple case to Hackintosh conversions I can really appreciate these projects.
Thank you,
Neil
This is my latest COVID-19 shelter in place keep busy project. Including this one, I have done 3 scratch builds and one build using a retail case this year. I may do another retail case this year as I have the case (direct from China) setting here.
This is a Hackintosh and I have used an...
