This includes the 32gb compact flash card that I'm using as a HD. The cost of the "computer" including board, ram, fan, CPU etc was around $600 total.
#Macbook g4 specs mod#
I have just completed my iMac g4 20" all in one mod by using the LCD controller board and wiring from a 20" apple cinema display and an ECX form factor motherboard with a 2.53 ghz p8700 core 2 duo processor.

You won't come close to the specs of a MacBook pro, but you can build a respectable core 2 duo machine with similar specs to the current generation Mac minis. but maybe ther would be another option with a MacBook logicboard - but that would be not easier to build in
The good part is - my system (10.6.3)is up and running - i "only" have to build everything in the iMacĪnd one thing - the price of the iMac depends on the parts you want to use. It's way to much work to explain it that fast It's smaller than the usual mini itx - that way i have a little more space for all the cables i have to put in, my board has 2 vga and 1 hdmi output, but one vga is needed to connect the hanns g. I have a "simple" core2duo mini itx board for my iMac project. lcd's)Ī new mini itx mainboard - they will fit into the iMac - but watch out, there are i7 mini itx boards on the market, the cpu's are expensive and the main problem with them is the heat they produce.
You would need a new monitor (if you have a 17" with an aspect ratio of 16:10 - like the hanns g. but everything must go.Įven dremel junkie didn't go all the way with his mod's. Sure - you can take everything out of the iMac and replace it with newer parts.
