Xbox 360 G4 Mod
>> From macmod.com:
[QUOTE]
This Powerbook modification is actually a spin-off of another project. Let me explain, my other project (Twenty First Century Mac) was originally based upon a 867Mhz PowerBook G4 Logic board. Unfortunately, the 867 is too slow for active TV Tuners (specifically, the one I already purchased.) so I had to scratch the 867Mhz from the project. Since I didn't have any true use for it, it sat idle. (with 1.12GB of RAM, Combo Drive, etc. To go with it.)
I'm an avid broken Xbox 360 collector, trying to develop strategies for hacking and repairing once-thought dead consoles. I've got plenty of empty 360 cases around with nothing to do but gather dust. When it hit me, The PowerBook logic boards are tiny. Perfect for one of those cases. Even better with PSU integration.
I had plenty of left-over PowerBook parts to make a decent machine. With a nice small footprint.
Specs
* 867Mhz PowerBook G4
* 60GB Fujitsu HD (Former test drive. ☺)
* Functional Ring Of Light, including sleep indication
* Combo Drive
* Built In Battery
* Stealth Power Button
* 65W Power Supply
* OS X Tiger 10.4.11
