Hi Thinkers,

Introducing my Satanic Mac Project...This ridiculous modding was done 17 years ago and was recreated this month.


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.

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!

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.

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 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? :unsure:
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.

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!
