new project? :blink: biggest project so far: since the machine is running, i try to enjoy it and get my fingers off the hardware. no modding, not even opening the case. nothing. i wonder how long i will stand this...
Well, Currently I am looking into the whole "better Powerbook G4 speakers" mod, and I am still working on iPod Woodie, slowly... Idk that either will be done any time soon...

My G5 coffee table. Two G5 cases. One is pearl yellow with kandy red flames pinstriped in silver, the other is a pearl teal with metal flake white flames, and purple pinstriping. Gonna put a piece of tempered glass on top and rock the living room hot rod style. I also need to paint a set of shells for my G4 iBook in Candy Apple red. (its an actual kandy color, not just the paint color). Once a friend gets his ibook, it will be pearl black with bamboo and voodoo stuff airbrushed onto it in a yellow/red shimmer-shift paint. All should look pretty sweet.

I have three projects that i'm working on.
Project one. iMac Boni Blue Rev A to use a slot-load DVD drive.
Project two. Building a case out of plexi-glass for my main PC. It's going to have a Dark red el-wire around it and also i'm thinking to use some window tint from walmart to give it some color. Also I'm building a custom water cooling system for it, making the water tank as part of the case so you can see the water on the side of the case.
Project three. Building a 12 node beowolf cluster, each system with have AMD K6/2 at 500MHz and 128MB or ram. Sadly I don't have 12 hard drives that are the same size. So in all the whole system will be. 6GHz 1536MBs of ram and I think 200.6GBs of harddrive space. I'm using a real big metal trunk to hold off of this in. So far I don;t have enough room for the CD-ROM drives but I don;t need them when i'm finished. Just need the main system to have one and the main system is going to be in it's own case.
I have two projects in mind, but I don't know which will come first.
After I get tired of the beautiful iMac G5, I'm thinking I'll tinker around to figure out how I can make it unique. So far, I haven't gotten many ideas because, lets face it, Apple has made it the epitome of perfection B) ! However, just the other day an idea hit me--the speaker grill on the bottom of the chassis might allow some room for light modding. Perhaps a few LEDs to shine through the grill? What does everybody think?
The other project centers on my 9600/200. This pre G3 model, as most of you know is very versatile. If I wanted to spend the money, I could turn it into a pretty decent G4 with 1.5 gigs of RAM :blink: ! But I don't know if I'll do that--anybody have any ideas?

I would build your 9600 into a file server. How about a g5 case? You could put in a cheap ata-66 drive controller, a couple of fat drives, and a g3 upgrade. I would like to see more macs put into a g5 case. If you look around enough, you should be able to do this for cheap. -maestro
I have a set of fans from my dad's old Dell that i tore into last year. I plan on putting it into my tangerine ibook clamshell so i can overclock it more than normal. I just need to find a place to connect the power for it so it will run regardless of battery power or adapter but i couldn't find a pinout for the display or backlight cables to plug it in. So that project's on hold until i can find one (it's my main machine so I don't want to do anything too drastic to it, plus I'm new to modding and don't know how to do pinouts).
