I wanted to go ahead a start a thread for my new project. I have seen a few threads on the site where in members have done mac mini mods and this inspired me to jump back into the hackintosh world!
For this build I plan on developing various parts that will be 3D printed using a site called shapeways. These parts should include a custom motherboard tray to hold a thin mini itx motherboard, a custom CPU cooler (more on this later), and last but not least a custom case cover (black circle on bottom of mini) that will include ventilation for the case. Once I have verified that these parts actually fit and work I will begin selling them on my shapeways shop. That means that anyone should be able to build their own mac mini hackintosh!
My build specs:
Asus H81T/CSM
Haswell Core i3 4360
16gb DDR3 1600 RAM
Airport wifi & bluetooth card for handoff compatibility
Samsung evo 850 msata 250GB SSD
Some pics below!
Custom motherboard tray is about as far as I have progressed. Design is likely to change for final print.
