Here is a pick of my progress which was to be my MacWorld mod. I have decided to make it a dedicated server and gene folder for folding@home. This is a picture of the front with DVDr, fan control and 7" ws lcd. The lcd will show the proteins as they are folding. The innards are going to be a pc for folding cuz there is more power for less money. The server part will be for back up and sending media to my xbox 360 via Connect360 running OSX tiger server. I am going to use an older mac mini for the server part and some fw 400 drives.
My work log is on WizD forums. Its slow going on the write ups, but the work continues! I know its not a Mac Mod anymore but if its okay, I will continue to post progress. Heres some more pics!
Macs are great folders too! My MDD Killer Bee mod folds 2x proteins 24/7. Start folding today!

How I see it is since Apple switched to intel based CPUs then Apple and PC users should get along and shouldn't have to care about what hardware is what.
Looking good man, keep us up to date on this please.
Thanks. I think the issue is what OS is used to be honest. I dont like Windoze which is why I dont build many pcs. More than likely I will run some Linux on it. Thats a whole nother forun topic.
Tayklor-Yeah I could install OSX on it, but it wont run like it does on a Mac which just isn't good enough, besides Winblows has a better F@H interface.
Here is a small update on the mod. It is up and running, yet aesthetically unfinished and I have yet to afford the x1900 which will be coming very soon. F@H is running on the 2.6 CeleronD @ 3.46ghz. No reason to keep from folding while I work on it. Here are two pics through the small window I made so you can see the UV working!
I may just get a Mini in there yet! I had a deal on one for only 150 bucks, but it fell through. :'(
