Thanks, all. I'm going to have to drag this machine out, open her up, and do the measurements. The modification was using a kit from The Laser Hive in England, which I found via someone else who posted on the web (possibly here) about building into a G4 case. I'll start researching the cards...

I've got a Hackintosh running nicely in a G4 case (this type) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apple_G4_400_Mhz_6892.jpg and I want to put a video card in it. Does anyone who has built a Hackintosh into this type of case (or who is familiar with its dimensions) have suggestions about a good...

I think you'll be very happy with the results. You may run into some problems with installation (actually, with booting after installation) but it's mainly a matter of identifying issues - with the help of people here who are far better informed than me - and eliminating them. Once you do that...

One more word on cases: Although my original plan was to build a no-holds barred, no expense spared, ultra-powerful Hackintosh, in the end I scaled back and went for something more modest, as my funds have other demands on them besides computers. One thing I did have was a working but (in...

The Hackintosh I made this year was my first OSX build, and if you've built PCs before, I don't think you'll have much problem. There were a few issues during installation, but thanks to help from people on this forum, I was able to resolve them, and once the installation was successful, I have...

I'm not greatly familiar with British prices, though from what I have seen they seem broadly similar to Japanese prices. Looking at your component costs, I think you're not spending enough on the case (I don't much like its looks either, but that's just me), yet you could spend quite a bit less...

Apologies for the unbroken block of text. The paragraph breaks were lost in posting.

Perspective from a Mac mini and Hackintosh owner I bought a late 2011 model mac mini (new). Now this is just my experience with the machine, but it suffered a few problems, and as a PC builder of long standing, they were the kind of thing I really didn't appreciate, although when working it was...

My attempts to get HDMI working failed, so in the end I bought a USB DAC from TEAC. $300 plus, but worth it in my opinion and it sounds fantastic through my audio system. I've used it for both 16 and 24-bit audio. I was a bit sceptical about digital sound over USB, I had the impression they were...

Thanks for the info. I'll try to get it working for an HDMI to amp. connection. Hopefully this weekend.

Hi, I want to beef up the audio on my Hack. With the Mac mini I used before, I ran an optical cable out to a DAC in my audio system. That gave me the sound I wanted from CDs ripped losslessly to iTunes. With the new Hack, I didn't pay enough attention to sound requirements, and didn't...

I tried that, not sure if that was the solution as it didn't seem to work at first, but I rebooted, tried again to sync and something clicked when I went through the authorization. It's working now. Thanks so much for your time and help.

Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but it just puts me back into a loop. I get a successful authorization, but then when iTunes tries to sync my iPod Touch, it requests authorization on this computer. I enter the details and then it responds that the computer is already authorized. The problem...

I got my Hackintosh running perfectly as far as I can tell, used Migration Assistant to bring everything over from my Mac Mini. The only snag I've hit is with iTunes. I should mention that I'm running 10.7, not the latest version, because I don't want to abandon Cover Flow. iTunes itself is...

Yes that worked great. Thanks.

I have been using the system for the last day and a half, and everything OSX-related seems to go very smoothly, and I've been able to move things across from my Mac mini with migration assistant. What I don't know how to do is get into UEFI; after startup, pressing delete doesn't get my to the...

A huge thank you to all of you who offered help so far! I've finally got this bastard booting from the SSD. I think I can now officially say I've got a working computer. I don't claim to know exactly how it got past the previous obstacles, but I think repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility...

I've got version 1.1.

Okay, I'm going to try the Disk Utility procedure. Would be sweet if that solves it.

Thanks for your help with this. I'll look at that thread and keep trying.
