Ok, so far I have only been asking questions about imac's etc. SCRATCH ALL THOSE PREVIOUS IDEAS OF MINE! I have a new project that I am now concentrating on. This is the idea that I hope will succeed. I have loved the all-in-one ideas of Apple Computers Inc. Always have. Always will. But I though, what If you could have a great gaming Mac, like a PowerMac in an All-in-one design? So, I started thinking, and I came up with this great idea.
1. Take out all eMac computer parts.
2. (Health-wise, If I am going to be sitting in front of this screen for hours, I though I don't want to get a head-ache/migraine from just sitting here do I? NO!) So,First, the eMac I know have, discharge and take out the CRT, replace with an LCD. (You get way-less head-aches from an LCD, this is the reason I bought an LCD TV for my parents on their marriage aniversary.)
4. This is going to be running pretty fast, so I thought some extra cooling would be in order, so probably liquid cooling would be the way to go. Figure it out amongst yourselves.
5. Now to be able to play some good games, I thought a Super drive, or at least a combo drive, to replace the original eMac CD drive. (Or keep it, either one).
6. PC Running Mac OS X 10.4.2 would be a good thing.
NOW I AM GOING TO NEED A LOT OF HELP WITH THIS PROJECT, AND I AM GOING TO STICK WITH THIS PROJECT, UNTIL I AM FINISHED. ALL YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
To Anyone who reads this, POST BACK. (Give me some advice).
That sounds like a cool idea. You are going to need a small motherboard (cube or mini). I think you can air cool it and it should be fine. I would start by making a parts and price list. Thats what I do. Then plan the conversion, every step of it. That way you are prepared for anything that comes up. Do a mod list too. That should get you started. Post any specific questions you have and we will help you out with what you need. Good luck. -maestro
maestro hit the nail on the head, with his plan tips the thought of a powermac inside a body like that is awesome but anything bigger than a Cube won't happen
