I have long been aware of hardware hacking and often read CPU. Although years ago there was a movement to paint Powerbooks I am not aware it went much beyond that for Macs. Especially desktops. The sites I saw had Japanese machines. CPU has contests and a monthly feature machine. But i do not recall any macs. Even though CPU often includes Macs in tests and reviews. Yes I hear about people cutting holes and inserting lights etc. The usual fluff but have seen no Macs like the PC art one sees in CPU every month. The relative lack of hot rod hardware ( unlike the PCI days) works against all out custom Macs. If Mac boards were AT / ATX, things would be different. And what anyone does with the PC is for another list. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer [email protected] http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
