    haplain's never-ending quest

    Here's a question for you all? What macs have you heard exist, that haven't been found yet? Maybe that's the best way for me to continue my quest :beige:

    PUCKS. These show the subtle variations that each and every device Apple creates goes through. You can see the small differences in the depth and contour of the different designs. They serve no purpose other than to show the size, weight, and form of the "final" product. These are from the...

    So the guts on the inside of the entire prototype Mac mini are for the Intel Core Duo chipset. There's a connector on the top of the bridge board on the first Intel Mac mini's that doesn't do a thing. I always wondered what it was for, now I know. The lid will fit on any 2009 or before Mac mini...

    And I saved this one for last... Check out this Mac mini top cover. It's only the cover, the innards are my buddies I'm turning into another project for him since he's such a good guy. He was nice enough to give me the top case since he has no use for it. Look at that iPod mini dock connector on...

    What's crazy about the DVT LCS is there is SO much less tubing running in and round it. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing haha

    haplain's never-ending quest

    Well considering I'm best buds with the engineer who built that piece I'm not stopping until I find out more. Im gonna sit with this dude and his goody box and find something. I never walk away empty handed. I mean hey I just got a DVT Quad Core G5 from him. Got all the testing stickers on it...

    It is indeed a 17 inch. What's next I keep looking for more crazy stuff. I'm going to see if I can figure out what's up with the Q51 sticker and where that board went }:) Well I'd assume because the power adapters fairly large as well as the engineer saying that it had stability problems. The...

    I got it to boot once into 10.4 so that mean's it's a PPC machine right? Fixed the backlight so there's large victory but need to get a screen shot of the System Specs. I didn't check the System Specs when it loaded to 10.4 since I didn't think about it. I can get it to boot into Open Firmware...

    I know the guy who owns that. He's a really nice fella, you should see what else he's got. His works and is an Intel Core Duo that never shipped in the MacBooks. It's a nice piece indeed. I was going to post a pic of that myself but thanks mcdermd. That again confirms Apple still uses...

    haplain's never-ending quest

    From what I saw the PSU is entirely unmarked. I mean even the way the power chord from the wall plugs in is slight different than ANY mac charger. I mention that because I'd assume they wanted to make sure that no one would accidentally plug in this massive power brick into the. The computer...

    I'll let you know as soon as I can get more photos. It's a clock-able CPU via dip switches. After having read what you all have said, I can almost with 100% certainty say she's a G5. I don't want to jinks it but based on what the engineer said about power consumption, the power supply...

    haplain's never-ending quest

    Well as much as I trust wikipedia I'll have to see when I get home. She does have every normal port for a computer of that era i.e. DVI, usb, FireWire 400/800, ethernet, modem. As uniserver eluded to I'm having backlight issues at the moment. I've got prototype replacement parts for the...

    Here you go. I'm trying to figure out if it's a G4 or G5 in there. I'll keep everyone posted. Any thoughts on that power adapter?

    Prototype PowerBook 17" She's real sexy. I've got another piece coming for it that will "complete the set". I'll let you imaginations run wild with that. More to come soon... It took me 5 hours to disassemble, clean, tidy and fix her up. It's got a 44pin IDE hd so the only one I have right now...
