Hi guys,

right this weekend I finished building my first Hackintosh

My goal was to leave the look and function of the Cube in his unique original form as much as possible (the toaster).

So I just changed the parts inside the Cube to almost the CustoMac Mini 2013.

The list of my parts:

MoBo: Gigabyte GA-H87N WiFi

W-LANand BT: BCM943225HMB BCM2070 half mini



CPU: Intel i5-4570S

RAM: 1x 8GB DDR3-1600

HDD: 500GB WD (old Notebook HDD)

SSD: 128GB SanDisk Ultra Plus

ODD: Pioneer Slot-In from a MacBook Pro

Power: PicoPSU 160W + 192W Power Supply

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i

Case Cooler: Noiseblocker S8-M1

Unfortunately, I forgot to take some pictures from disassembling the Cube and I hope you can imagine

So let's start with the rebuild:





After using jigsaw, angle grinder and some color the bottom plate and the former heat sink look like this.

The MoBo is held by three long screws I former worked with the angle grinder.

Like I expectet, the board fit's like a glove to the inner case.

After some work on the old HDD cage and a SSD holder from Sharkoon the new storage solution fits perfectly.

Because the Cube should be as much original as possible a Slot-In-Drive with SATA-Plug was essential.
