Hi All! You have inspired me to do a cube hackintosh build, specifically Ray'd build (http://tonymacx86.com/threads/rayds-g4-cube-hackintosh-i7-4790s-gtx-750-ti-dvd-rw-1tb-ssd.162210/)
Edit: redid entire post as it made little sense with the changes I have done
This has been a very challenging build, the space / thermal / power / case mod all take a very long time to sort out. the touch switch is an entire project on its own, I am still trying to get things locked down.
Parts list:
Video:
GTX 950 - Gigabyte GeForce GTX Graphics Card (GV-N950D5-2GD)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H170 Mini-ITX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H170N-WIFI
CPU:
Intel Boxed Core I7-6700 FC-LGA14C 3.40 GHz 8 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700 (non K version, uses 65W vs 91W)
CPU Cooler:
Noctua Low-Profile Quiet CPU Cooler for Intel 115x Based Retail Cooling NH-L9I
RAM:
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin BLS2K16G4D240FSC (White)
PSU:
Yosoo DC 12V 200W Pico ATX switch PSU Car Auto 24pin MINI ITX ATX High Power Supply
Power DC adapter:
Modded 203W XBox 360 adapter
WiFi:
BCM94352Z NGFF M.2 WiFi WLAN Bluetooth 4.0 802.11ac up to 867 Mbps card 22*30mm (one the motherboard comes with doesnt work with OSX)
Riser:
EZDIY PCI Express 16x Flexible Cable Card Extension Port Adapter High Speed Riser Card-25cm
HD:
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)
Second HD: SanDisk 250GB SATA SSD
DVD:
Ebay order for SuperDrive salvaged from a 2011 iMac, wanted to keep the drive working and its sata. the bracket the drive comes in fits in the slot where the original drive was with a few tweaks. You will need this adapter cable to make it work with a regular SATA connector: StarTech.com 20-Inch Slimline SATA to SATA with LP4 Power Cable Adapter (SLSATAF20)
