sandwer Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 http://www.123macmini.com/macminicube/ I love this. Its the most sensitive cube 'update' I've seen. Bst bit? I've got a spray can of matt black AND a spare inner enclosure. Going to be a fun weekend....I'm going to keep the internals G4 though - for now //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Nice, very nice! I thought a mac mini could fit in there. He's done a great job, very professional I'm a big fan of the cube, and black apple macs...this is like the ultimate computer! Did he use a 3.5" hdd? That would be ideal, I think there's enough space in there for one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeds the Mini up as well...shame theres nothing that can be done for the graphics card, which there can be on the original cube (glances at own heavily modded cube ) //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 You have a spare cube enclosure? Sweet! INTEL Dual Core Cube. I know, it's still "just" GMA950 graphics...It's almost perfect, and so good looking too. And silent! (Can you tell who's jealous here?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's still "just" GMA950 graphics...It's almost perfect, and so good looking too. And silent! (Can you tell who's jealous here?) Its weird, I nearly chucked the case out a few weeks ago - the exterior is cracked quite badly, just leaving the internal enclosure useable. I've already sanded the case down, ready to mask up and apply the black paint. My current cube isn't silent - I had to add a fan or it would start to melt (6200 graphics card and 1.8ghz G4 generate an amount of heat that you wouldn't trust to a couple of passive heatsinks to cope with..!) I'll post pictures in my blog when I am done. I'm actually wondering if there is an 945 based really small form factor motherboard yet so I could do a version of a mac mini in the cube but with upgradeable graphics... //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwer Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 I did mine. And I remembered to take pictures, so I put it all in a blog entry... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...g&blogid=69 //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostgame Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 That's freaking sweet. But if I had a G4 cube, I can tell you I wouldn't be wasting it by putting a Mini's internals in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
