Re: My Next eelmod: G4 Cube

Just thought it might be worth mentioning the iMac G4 thread that has just been started. The board in that might be a nice option for a low power compatible solution for the Cube.
It is tiny and has HD3000 compatability.
Look here

Re: My Next eelmod: G4 Cube

Yeah I saw that board but do we fall back into the PM issues with it?
I am specifically running this Gigabyte board because it all works with no issues and this will be a build I need sleep to work on.

Fair enough - true there's no guarantee for sleep until much DSDT fiddling has occurred. It's a gamble.

We will do these up with the H67Ns and I will or might have one cube left over and can sit on until something comes up with Neil's Intel board as well. Man I do really want to use a Thin iTX board so bad.

Re: My Next eelmod: G4 Cube

Ok so since I didnt have a lot to work with on the rear plate/underside I gave it to a friend of mine to get it milled out for the mobo IO plate.
Here are several pics of it going on.

And I used a different IO plate that is the same size as the one that will be utilized.
