MASCOTTE Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 ...for my son (8 years old) I build a super eMac for his room to play, iTunes, EyeTV and Internet... So the pictures are speaking for their own, I think... Hardware-List: Intel i5-2,80GHz Gigabyte H55m-UD2H NVidia GTX460 1024MB-DDR5 Apple AirportExtreme mPCIe on mPCIe-to-PCIe Elgato EyeTV USB (build-in) 2x4GB-DDR3 500GB-SATA2 LG DVD-RW LCP 650W PowerSupply MacOS-X 10.6.8 with Chameleon and User-DSDT -->> today updated to 10.7.1 with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (Chimera), user-DSDT, AppleHDA-Rollback, Lynx-to-Mac RTL81xx-GBit-Lan-kext. everything works: FaceTime, AppStore, Bonjour, WLAN, Sleep (except automatic sleep, so disabled - but sleep with power button or menu/wake up by mouse or power button works)... great work from tonymac and the whole community!! ...works very fine and silent.... ...edit for the connectors: HD-Audio (automatical switches between intern-audio/headphones and intern-micro/extern-micro), 3xusb2, 1xFireWire (the second is closed with a lego-cap), tv-antenna-in (instead of the modem-connector), gbit-lan and display port is closed by a lego-part... look here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you add a new monitor, or connect the old screen directly to mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASCOTTE Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Did you add a new monitor, or connect the old screen directly to mobo? ...no, it´s a EIZO 16"-TFT-Display, glued into the front with epoxy resin adhesive, like all the other components... you can see on a picture, that the mainboard is screwed on a glued lego-construction... that works fine an can carry all the heavy weight of main board, grafix, cpu-cooling, etc... (sorry, my english is not so good, normally I speak german or spanish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MASCOTTE Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Very nice, congratulations.Quite more exotic than the eternal G5 / Mac Pro's ...thank you all... but what was it, that Apple say: "it´s only allowed to install mac-os on apple-hardware!" ...so, the eMac was out of order, it´s only a repair that I did.....
