Clive At Five's next top (re)model [PART 2]

This is my new computer... ...case. It was purchased as a new home for my poor xHack, who has been having an identity crisis living in her pitiful PC case ghetto. This transplant has several challenges in store, some…
Clive At Five's next top (re)model [PART 1]

For just over a year now, my Hackintosh ("xHack") has been running brilliantly! The only thing, though, is that my poor computer is having an identity crisis! Is it a Mac? Is it a PC? Or is it some half-breed Frankenstei…
Cube HTPC project: Sealing the deal

This will be another post without picts, but like I said in an earlier post, I'm working on a full-guide. A couple more problems arose since I last posted. Firstly, I dumped my Kalyway installation. It wasn't allowing m…

I officially love my computer.

The ol' xHack is a dream come true. Nearly all the power of a MacPro, better graphics performance than the aforementioned, overclock-able, and dual-bootable. Not only that, but it simulboots XP and OS X via Paralells. I'…

After many months of tinkering with different install methods and editing kexts, I have achieved that which was, until now, only a vision. As a response to Apple's lack of an xMac, I, the great Clive At Five, have compl…
