mod

Hi All, I was recently given an old iMac 20" (2133 model) to see if I could fix it. There was a logic board failure, so I figured it was not worth the trouble/money to replace it, given its age and limited performance. My wife has a Macbook Air and I am not a big fan of OSX either. I do love...

Hi all, Finished my first PC build and my first mod. Used one of my old powermac G5's. Great fun to discover the whole community of G5 modifiers, wasn't aware there was this recycling movement going on! Have several more G5's waiting. Will be using this computer for heavy 3D rendering tasks and...

Introduction: Hi all. After several months looking through Ersterhernd's, Kiwi's and Dremel junkie's projects, I decided to roll up my sleeves and try my own iMac build. There are several reasons on why I'm trying to do this: I always wanted to have an All-In-One PC, built by me. I like older...

I'm currently in the progress of finishing my Powermac G5 case mod, but i want to reuse Only the power button, and LED. i don't want to reuse the USB because i plan on upgrading to USB 3.0 in the front. any way i can mod the three cables coming from the power button and LED?

I have removed ALL of the hex screws on the inside of the case (backside and front inside), and i know its able to be removed. Does it just require a lot of force to pull it off of each mount?

Hello! Long time viewer, first time poster. I've been fascinated by the work of many talented people on this forum who have had success modding the iMac G4 and G5, and to a lesser extent, the G3. The work they have put in to turning an outdated computer with a beautiful design into a modern Mac...

Hey all! I have a question regarding Apple's finish on their aluminum cases. How exactly are they finished? Bead blasted, painted, etc...? I'm working building a MacMini from the ground up, case and all. I have aluminum parts for it (original Apple parts), but may need to refinish & match...

I'm taking receipt of a Mac IIci case in the next few days. It's always been a beautiful looking case, in my eyes. I want to turn this into a Hackintosh. I'm aware that the ports and card slots on the back of the computer case won't line up, but is this a feasible project with a mATX...

So after long time of admiring the mods I am seeing on posts, I finally decided to mod one for myself as well. I do not expect this to finish to soon but this is the idea really. I am very busy lately (two jobs and school) but I really need something to enjoy to breath every once in a while...

Hey all, Worked on this cube mod Summer of 2014. Still in progress and 90% done but wanted to share what I have and the steps I took to get there. Inspired by thegyufi's G4 cube mod. I tackled it looking to make a replica but with a personal spin. I speak a good amount of French so following...

Hey all, it's been a bit stagnant over here on these forums for a bit. Thought I'd post my progress pics on my Mac Pro Replica. Standing on the shoulders of all you wonderful modders and a special shoutout to Bouly for his 3d .stl files. Without all of you I wouldn't be here. I just have the...

I had a short budget to make my first mod. So I tried to keep it simple as possible. I used an power g4 sawtooth case and keep it as original as possible and didn't cut any plastics/acrylics, etc. The list of parts I used in this build is: Motherboard Gigabyte Ga-H97m-d3h Intel I3 4170...

Hello, I want to show you my current process of my G5 Mod. I started in January by buying a used Mac G5 with defect hardware in it. My first attempt was trying to repair the Mac G5, but there was a problem with CPU/Cooling I couldn’t solve. My target for the Mod: Keep it as stock looking as...
