Hello, I wonder if there's anyone of you interested or done some hardcore mac modding before. ie, cable cutting/soldering, Proc overclock, GPU modding ( OMFG nVidia 7800GT flash!!!), PSU modding, casing moding and etc. Just post here to share. My experience is: PM G3 ATX convertion. PM G4 Media Bay, Proc Upgrade, GPU (FX5200) and IDE cable mod.
