Simple iMac G4 monitor build
This is a re-post from Reddit, as I didn't like using their forum options (plus, I just wanted a good excuse to this this screen for a bit)... Anyone else think that the iMac G4 was the best looking desktop of all time? My iMac G4 20-in's PSU went about 2 years ago, just after I installed an...- Edgecrusherr

How do I remove the AC inlet from an iMac 2017 (21.5")?
Hi! This is related to my last thread "iMac 2017 (A1418) converted to monitor, need help with cable management". So, in short, I'm converting my iMac 2017 21.5" into a monitor and I need a hole to pass some cables through it. It makes no sense to drill a new hole and the most logical hole is... -

After bubbled MBP Screen, replaced with Mod PB G4
After suffering from the bubbled & snowflaked LCD Screen, I found someone who can replace it with hi-res version. Since the logicboard of my previous 1,5ghz only recognized 1 slot of RAM (a problem which Apple also admitted) I upgraded my logicboard as well. Then, when I paid and my PB is...- flatjuba

Any Success Removing the Matte Film from Apple Cinema HD Displays?
I have an A1082 23" Apple Cinema HD Display. It is my understanding that there are no such thing as 'matte screens', just glossy screens that either have or have not had a matte film adhered onto them. There are numerous success stories of people using listerine (and similar) to break down the...- KingCornWallis

iMac removable screen - 2012-2020 hardware mod
I miss the iMacs of 2009-2011. Despite their high GPU failure rates they were easy to get in to and upgrade. Specifically upgrading hard drives with SSDs. It is not an impossible task with 2012-2020 iMacs, but its sort of a one-and-done thing. You can really only remove and replace the adhesive... -

Any definitive method to vrm modding the old 16" i9? bad results for old timers?
Bought a 2.3ghz i9 2019 mbp for legacy purposes like old x86 plugins for logic that will probably never be updated, maybe it was a dumb idea, but it's done. Anyway, since this forum seems to be the birthplace of that mod, I've read many 2019-2020ish ideas about the mod, where to place, how...- joey grimes

Hot Macbook Pro : this is not a drill

With no other viable options at the time, I made the following upgrades to a 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) about two years ago - primarily for rendering with VRay. VRay uses CUDA, so the AMD GPUs of the trashcan Mac were of little use and adding Thunderbolt chassis for external GPUs would have just added... -
