Yes, you can put a compatible Xeon into an iMac, you just lose sleep capabilities. I run Macs Fan Control to keep it mild, low 30s idle, and it gets noisy when I am crunching Handbrake. 4 cores/8 threads. I assume that is something in the ROM because an intel MacPro with Xeon seems to sleep...

Not sure how expandable the 2014 Mac Mini is compared to older things. The mPCIE slot in an Apple TV Gen 1 can take a 4 port SATA controller, as well as most of the Intel Mac Mini before the aluminum phase (2006 era?). Or if you have a Classic Mac Pro laying around, there are lots of SAS Raid...

Obviously if you look at my avatar, my G4 Rubik's Cube! My iMac 27" 2011 with Xeon processor and upgraded Radeon 4GB video card, I simply call BigMac. I have a Xeon E5-2696 18C/36T in a hackintosh with an R9 Nano that I call "MacPro Jr." because it is a mini-itx in a hand built case and water...

I have been looking for info on this monitor... got it free from Free Geek Minneapolis some time ago when they still had a "free shelf". Sticker says "does not power on". After removing the swivel base (unnecessary), two screws along the bottom bezel from the back, and the three white screws...

Akin to the icecube tray, I save all my clear prescription bottles. Remove the label and I have a nice plastic container with a locking cover to keep my screws and parts in, all various sizes available.

Adding to my own story... The IBM keyboard I have is a terminal keyboard, not XT. So the seach continues. I can't use a Soarer's Converter as far as I can tell, so I searched many USB to XT and PS2 to XT converters out there and could not find something to work with what I have on hand...

My STL files worked fine for home 3D printing, I have never tried them with a fab service. I had some warping with PETG that I had to adjust for... Your mileage may vary. As far as scaling goes, tolerances will be tighter if you shrink it.

I had a brief posting about it here. And you can see full documentation and download STL files from Instructables.com

I think there lies a distinction between creative license for self use, and mass production. The MaClock is a mass (or limited) production where it should not break the laws and illegally use the Apple logo. Now if I were to 3D print my own, for my own use, and not resell it, then who would...

https://taoofmac.com/space/reviews/2025/11/24/1900 There are a lot of resellers or knockoffs our there? https://www.maclock.shop/en https://www.maclock.fr/ https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-maclock.html?spm=a2g0o.tm1000056364.search.0

I thought only the MacPro4,1 dual cpu tray were the delid type. All other MacPro1,1-5,1 use standard lidded CPUs. I upgraded a 1,1 with standard lids on.

Keeping a hat on top of it in case it gets cold?

You can get a small module that will play a sound from a MicroSD card, see this old build here. eBay MP3 audio player.

If you want to make it about you, then yes, your own thread would probably be best.
