iNeko Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hey everyone! Well... After I bought some Apples and exploded my old android, I wanted to make something new in my working/home place. First time i was installing Mac OSX themes for Windows. I thought it is so hard to install Mac OSX, and when i made some kind of "plan", I backed up my data, downloaded OSX, formatted disk, and tried to start the installation. I had errors like "still waitting for root device", and pci errors, just because I had old hardware. Then, in one great day, my motherboard and power supply burnt out ( It wasn't my fault, there are were energy issues in @ my district ). Then i just thought to build Custom Mac.. just for "test". I am thinking to buy 'real' Mac soon. So i bought the following components: And Mountain Lion installed without any errors! Great, I made that I wanted! Now, you can see how I was building it. Connected every component and restored Mac OSX 10.8.4 from my Time Capsule.. Tada! I don't want to change information in 'About this Mac' for now. Well, my pc case has finally arrived! So, i took it out from box, looks awesome. ( I already attached PSU ). Let's place mobo and another components inside! That's how it looks with 'mirror' effect I want to replace those USB2.0s to 3.0 ones, also, front audio works. That's how hard drives and PSU are installed in. I am using HDMI cable, my display has better collibration support for it. BUT ONE THING THAT I DIDN'T KNEW - It has L.E.Ds inside. So, i dis-attached some thingies, and made it branded! ;D I purchased some Apple stickers at eBay, but I can't wait, so lol. Now it looks superb. Another pictures: That's how cd-drive placed, haha. This is some my stuff, as disk using, wifi, etc Hosting second home WiFi network because i can't make this card work with internet ;( As you can see, it's fine. Well, i finally made my wifi to see networks. Added 168c,0301. But if it connects it's freezes ;( Current case is MidTower ATX. It is very small and compactible. More like Micro ATX. Currently, Geekbench shows 7600 points when I'm using 10.9 & 8100 points when I am using 10.8.4. I think the slow part are my HDDs. ( Note, not Solid state drives ). I am going to upgrade my specifications soon. I will post every progress there. I am going to make some kind of 'tuning' for my CustoMac. TODO list: * working wifi internet * wait for apple & "blue eyed" stickers and buy mirrored acrylic sheet to make it look more awesome! * replace usb2.0 by usb3.0 * make it more quiet * (optional) buy ssds * (optional) buy more ram memory Thanks for watching! Leave comments please! ;p 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291631-blueeyed-build-still-in-progress/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomppaq Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You got my vote! Nice build, and that blue dot whit Apple-logo looking nice.

poadb Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Nice build! What I would have done with the apple logo is make it into a stensil and reversed it. So the big blue circle becomes covered, but the apple symbol shines blue - like on the back of mac books. But that's me Still looks like a great build 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291631-blueeyed-build-still-in-progress/#findComment-1944553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
