I 3D printed a complete working miniature Blue and White G3 with a Hackintosh'd NUC board. Case opens just like the original sized one. More details at Instructables.
Introduction
--------------
I have run across a couple of projects that were the inspiration to this build. One claims to be the world's smallest functioning iMac, but in reality it is a Raspberry Pi running Linux with a MacOS theme, and cannot run real MacOS apps: links below. The second one...
I just got my first NUC, and it has two miniDP on the back, and an eDP on the motherboard (30pin 1.0mm).
Does anyone have any real experience working with an eDP port? Can it be used as the primary display (like an embedded project)?

Half-Height Floppy computer
Concept
Build a full working computer with slot-load optical drive inside a half-height 5.25 Floppy Drive (everything a laptop has except KB, trackpad, and screen). I have an old Apple MacBook A1181 with a broken screen. Its been laying around for years, waiting...
I have a x99 motherboard with Xeon e5-2696v3 (18 core) that I wanted to Hackintosh into a G4 Cube case, along with an AMD R9 Nano 4gb. Not enough cubic space (350ci or 5.7liters) for water cooling without the radiator being external, so after the new Mac Pro was announced, I decided the...
I purchased a Gigabyte GA-H110MSTX-HD3 to build my Apple ][ Floppy case mod, but the i7-7700 would not boot due to firmware needing to be updated. I purchased the cheapest CPU I could find on the low end to update the firmware (G3900). So having an extra CPU, I bought another mobo and then...
Using an old Apple ][ Floppy drive as a case, I removed the guts and used these parts to rebuild it:
Gigabyte Mini-STX motherboard GA-H110MSTX-HD3 (5x5 inches)
CPU: i7-7700 (non-K version), 3.6Ghz quad core with Hyperthreading
RAM: 2x16Gb SODIMM DDR4-2400
SSD: 250Gb WD-Blue M.2
Wifi/BT: From a...
