Mac Mini G4 Portable



Peter Green serves up a great Mac Mod. A Mini G4 portable.

Here are the specs:

  • Time took to complete: Approximately 2 weeks.
  • Most difficult part of the mod: Constructing/fabricating the case and dissipating the heat from the regulator powering the TFT 8-inch LCD.
  • 8-inch LCD screen resolution: Default res. 800x600, but can go up to 1280x960!
  • Average battery life: 3-Hours of Mac mini portable computing.
  • Pretty much all the materials were found or recycled items.
  • $700 for us Yanks. Not a bad price for the worlds smallest portable Mac OS X system.
Great job Peter!!!
