Powermac G5 Hackintosh Case Mod

Another one from the archives – stumbled across these images from way back in January 2010. You can get the idea of how everything pieces together. Think I only kept the more  pristine looking images after all the main cuts were done and I could tidy the shell up. Reading this is getting me in the mood for something new…. Intel i3 / Mac Classic case media server perhaps?…..

G4 Powermac Quicksilver Hackintosh Case Mod

Had to dig this one out the hackintosh archives so apologies for the lack of detail. Way back in December 2009 I had a few bits lying around the studio and most importantly some free time – which is a rare thing. Decided to have a go at building some kind of Hack Pro variant. Adapted a dead G4 Quicksilver that will only take a mATX board so good for a first time mod and cheap too. All in all a great little project that will teach you a bit about Unix commands and a whole lot about how OS X works. Used a custom Boot-132 disc and then altered some kexts that the particular ASUS mobo needed.

Have lost the build jpegs but here are some of the finished piece. Inspired by the Aquamac blog.

 

 

Lo Fidelity All Stars – Battleflag

Stumbled across this track this morning and had forgotten just how good the 90s could be. Takes me right back. According to the Wiki the track must have been a dream ticket for the record label’s licensing company – featured in a season six episode of NBC’s prime-time ER ( which is in the bit where Lucy “exits” the show ), season three episode eleven of Showtime’s drama Queer as Folk US, as well as a season one episode of The WB’s Smallville and a season one episode of HBO’s The Sopranos. Also featured in the films Coyote Ugly, Mean Machine and Very Bad Things, and the trailers for Charlie’s Angels and Duke Nukem Forever. The song was also used on the 2000 WWF (now WWE) video tape Eve of Destruction. Additionally, it has been included on countless music compilations.Â
