Hey Im trying to build a G4 cube with the lastest Intel Processor, Kaby Lake. Its a 20$ difference from Skylake so why not
I haven't used this website since 2009/2010 when I build my first hackintosh, really glad this place is active. I fell in love with the idea after MacTester57's build ended up in my recommendation box on youtube and I knew I had to build one. Getting started I Already order my Cube off eBay for 80$ (which was a steal for its condition). After reading the forums this is what I came up with for my built:

I've ordered one of these and i'm planning on modding it so it can fit into the case. Not sure how its going to turn out but better than nothing.

I'm building this case for fun, I'm going to mainly use it as a desktop pc, to "search the web" and small work related task. With the potential of video editing and gaming in the future, but most likely not;D
If you guys have an advice or have anything to say please do ! I would love to know everyones opinion on this as I am a total newbie at all of this, at least for now. I've put hours of research into this and I've only gotten this far, open to anything
