i made it for the macmod challenge 2008

time lapse building video: http://www.vimeo.com/1640088

hackintosh is: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, Gigabyte EP35-DS3L, BFG Nvidia 8800GT OC 512MB, 2GB PQI DDR2 800MHz Ram, 750GB & 400GB Seagate Drives, Zalman CNPS9700, Antec Earthwatts 650W.

installed Kalyway 10.5.2 + 10.5.3/4 updates, fairly smooth install, nvinject for the 8800gt, nothing special really.

with the side panel closed, it stays fairly cool for only having ventilation at the four corners of the case - 38ºC
if im doing any compressor/dxo/photoshop/fcp work, ill usually just pop the side open and have it hum along at about 48-49ºC at full load

mac mini is roughly stock 1.66GHz Core Duo with an external esata drive hack.

You are my hero. You should sell kits with instructions or something. I'd buy one for building a hack any day!

Nice Looks Really Cool Much Cheaper to Make A MacPro Case Then Pay 300$ for it LOL ):

After watching the Time Laps Video I Would really like to Put my Hack in a MacPro Lego Case. If you could what would be the Best Way for me To build One.
