Does anyone have any experience removing and running a MacBook Pro(early 2011) in another case or outside the case? I am trying to find info on what is necessary to operate the motherboard, ie does the cpu fan have to be plugged in to boot, other required connected peripherals,etc.? I looked...

I got a good deal on a cube and have it gutted and ready to go. I was going to put my 2014 Mac mini inside but I couldn’t bare to wreck it. Just want to get some feedback on my motherboard choices. Thin mini-itx are lagging behind, so they are out of the question. #1 - NUC8i5 BEH #2 -...

I was wondering what everyone thought about using 4pin vs. 3pin fans in for the case fans in a G5 mod. My motherboard, GA-H97M-D3H, has three 4pin connectors for case fans. I have 2 fans to wire together for both the front and back fans and then the front speaker fan and HDD fan. I could wire...

I had success using the original serial # from my eMac in my eHack (and my G4 server case) Everything worked including iMessage. After I had a SSD issue on the eHack, I had to reinstall Mavericks, and I updated to 10.9.5 while I was at it. I made the mistake of running iMessage before changing...

Has anyone every reused the screen in an intel iMac such as the 24" iMac from 2006 (similar case as G5)? Do the intel iMacs have proprietry LVDS connectors? I envision an H87-TN in there but I am betting there is not an easy way to connect the LCD. Mike

Does anyone have any recommendations for HDDs for use with ML server? I am looking at getting a 2 TB drive and was looking at the segate constellation and the WD Red. I am curious to hear what others are using. Thanks, Mike

I have seen many posts/blogs about how to convert Apple displays to DVI, but I cannot find a chart that lists the pinouts of the wires in a DVI-D cable. I attempted to shorten a cable for my "eHack" via splicing, but that didn't work so well. I would like to solder it right to the male...

As I am getting just past the halfway point of completing my "eHack" (http://www.tonymacx86.com/others/95144-ehack-progress.html), I am trying to replace the Apple "eMac" with "eHack" above the LCD on the bezel. I scraped off the old name and so far the best thing I have come up with is using a...

With the customac mini 2013 base setup, 1 SSD drive minus the tp-link wireless card, does anyone know if I could get away with using a PicoPSU-160-XT, 192W Power Kit or a 150W? I would like to use a Wesena case as the resemble mac minis. Thanks. Hoping to get customac#2 in the works.

I haven't been able to find this searching the board, so forgive me if I missed it. Is it possible with a Customac to use the keystroke combinations at boot, such as Command-R to boot into the Repair Utilities screen? I can't get it to work. I cloned my HDD after an unexpected and curious os...

I have 10.7.3 working having initially installed using custom beast. The custom beast installer (from about 3 weeks ago-late January '12) said it was installing Chimera v1. I have since run the latest version of multibeast only to get audio and trim support working after 10.7.3 update. I am...

I seemed to have full success running 10.7.2 on my hackintosh, which is almost identical to the budget build except the processor (i5), case and power supply. Initially, after install, I was using the onboard Intel HD 3000 graphics and had no issues. When I added my second stick of ram (4+4)...
