I think that some people will reject it, but plz forgive me because I remade it as beautifully as possible...If you have any questions, please ask. I can answer anything about this.

It's already midnight, so I'll re-edit the details tomorrow.
Thx.

Beautiful and bold, @Kay K.M.Mods!

That compatible B&W CRT is incredible! And the fact you put the CD access at the back instead of the front is a very nice touch! That machine was lovingly crafted in every way imaginable. And incredible amount of work, but with a very stunning result!

What logic board are you using in that?

Kay said it is from an "iMac Rev. B" which he used in 2005. But it also seems he uses a Sonnet HARMONi G3 600MHz, which he overclocked to 666MHz.

Yeah, @Kai Robinson take a look at my blog when you have time. There is general information.

666MHz . . . perfection! I love it, fabulous hacking with incredible fit and finish, the backplane and especially the CD conversion exhibit true mastery in practice of the black arts!

I hope this inspires others to show off previously modded machines or new works of perfection like Kay's Satanic Mac.

I'm flying to Japan right now to steal this machine for my collection.

Yeah that computer looks like it was meant to be from the factory. Amazing!

I thought your naming was better Thanks Alex!

I love that custom platform for the logic board from iMac! Do the side tabs match the slots on the bottom side SE/30 frame?

Cheers,

Exactly it is. It is completely shaped from the normal logic board. When I made it in 2005, it was made of white plastic, but this time it was made of PCD material. I was spraying green.

I played BagDom...

I installed a power switch at the position of the debug switch. Since the blue LED is attached, the punched G3 shines. It was a little difficult to make print data of the switch that kept the strength.

So, can that power up a Mac that also can power up by pressing the power/reset button on the ADB keyboard, if connected to a power switch from that debug switch?

Why not. The iMac originally can use both the soft power switch on the front panel and the soft power switch on the keyboard. The power switching of the main logic board is easy to analyze.
In fact, most 040 machines have a soft power switch on the back, right? It's the same.

This is so inspiring. I do NOT have half the know how to do anything like this, but just knowing its possible is awesome. Great work!!

The attention to detail and dedication in your Satanic SE/30 is impressive. I don't usually like compact Mac hacks/mods because they're usually very poorly done, but this is excellent!
