Overview The Optiplex 9030 is a 23" All in One system based on Haswell processors. It comes in two main different types: Integrated graphics type and a variation with AMD R7 A265. This guide is just for the integrated graphics HD4600 and HD4400 version. I cannot recommend this enough as a...

Many people use the original PicoPSU (which is a trademark of Mini-Box). These supplies made in the USA and with authorised distributors have good backup and have been proven over the years. As with many things, Chinese makers find their ways around patents (or sometimes infringe them) to make...

To avoid cluttering or hijacking the thread over in the Powermac G4 Cube section I thought I would put up findings about this psu here. The PSU in question is the X7-ATX-500 that I first mentioned here. I ordered it as did NeilHart and Neil has carried out his own testing which sadly it...

This is my Haswell NUC mod inside my Mac Mini case. The mod was great fun to do, as I had to re-think things several times on exactly what, where, how. The result though is a stunning little box inspired by the original Mac Mini, but brought up to date. The conversion process can be...

Just saw this: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4779#ov Now that looks like a nice combination product…. Who is going to be buying one of these for OS X? Maybe do a rebody perhaps into one of the old style Mac Mini cases too for a super cool case mod…...

This is not yet an active build log, but it will be…..as I have one of the mid 2010 type Mac Mini cases coming from Hong Kong ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281296801123?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 ) for me to do something with. It is the server model of case and so does...

This is not a build thread, but just wanted to post this up as perhaps another option for people who are thinking about making a Mac Pro 2013 look-a-like. You can buy acrylic cylinders such as this one...

First, thank you to SJ_Underwater for getting a compile on the new Haswell DSDT, Toleda for patching and Rehabman for advice over on the DSDT thread. I woke up this morning to a first HDMI DSDT - excellent. Here are the results of me trying it. DP on the NUC is port 6, HDMI is port 5. DP...

Hi, I am working on the new i5 Haswell NUC and want to get the DSDT to be able to compile. The compile errors though have got me beaten so far. I have attached the virgin DSDT from the NUC - all suggestions/help welcomed. Errors are: Intel ACPI Component Architecture ASL Optimizing...

This is mainly a post for information for anyone thinking they have faulty HDMI connections or that something is wrong with their audio configuration It seems to be a feature of Airplay that some applications scan for the presence of devices and while that is happening HDMI audio drops out...

Summary This is my latest Cube mod and most challenging. It started out as "I wonder if a Cube can be water cooled?" and grew by stages into what you see here as a final result. Some might say that it has been modded so much that it is no longer a Cube. I stick by it though as to me it has...

This case conversion has a few different things in it. It has a full ATX format and a full ATX power supply integrated into the backplate. The front IO is replaced with a new IO kit based on a Lian Li front panel kit and has USB3, eSATA, headphones and mic. It has an all in one cooling...

On my H87 build I want to be able to use a MacBook Pro Retina display using this adapter for the onboard displayport: http://dp2mbpr.rozsnyo.com I have got the display working fine under Ubuntu using the onboard display port, but cannot boot in OS X as chameleon gives the deadbeef not...

As the title really. I have the H87 Zotac board and I cannot recommend this (yet) for a Hack as my experiments seem to indicate it is not the best choice. The vanilla mach_kernel for this board triggers an instant reboot and so unless a bios update cures this it needs kernel patching. So I...

MBD G4? Yes…… This is my latest conversion to a Mirror Drive Door G4 PowerMac. I have done a few different versions of the MDD and these machines pose a unique challenge - which is probably why I keep coming back. First of all they are one of the nicest looking Apple cases out there (in...

This is my iMac G3 mod that owes some inspiration from this new Lian Li case: The Lian Li is a Mini ITX case and also is a very boxy aluminium design, so apart from the concept of putting the motherboard on show inside a "TV" like housing the similarities end there. The iMac was...
