Mac Mod: Project MacBane - Converting my PowerMac G4 to Core i7

Author: Photograph.

Hi everyone, I have been a lurker forever here and I thought I would share my first Mac Modding project. I have had my old PowerMac G4 lying around the office for a couple of years just being used for website and Flash testing. It is ten years old this winter and it’s time to retire it forever as the ancient and completely obsolete guts it has now make it next to useless when compared to my modern Macs. Don't worry about the PowerPC components as they have found a new home already

It has taken a lot of time and care to get it this far, more updates to follow, you can also check out the full project on my Flickr page here.

I am however quite attached to this particular machine as I started my career with it, so I decided to breathe some new life into it as my new gaming machine. I guess I am about half way to being complete, below are the latest shots from my progress.

Thanks for looking
