 The fabled DIY Mac Tablets are about as common as a sighting of a Big Foot. But they are out there. Intrepid Mac enthusiast Wei had tried to build a Mac Tablet before, but failed. That did not stop him from trying again, and this time he had success. In his Malyasian studio Wei was able to combine a MacBook and intuos3 (9x12) into an iTab. He spent from May to July working on it, waiting for parts and working some more.
If you are thinking of making your own Mac tablet, you definitely need to go to Wei's site. He has details that you will want to know before setting out on your tablet project. While building his iTab Wei ran into heat issues, cursor shaking and display pixelization that he had to overcome or live with. Go to his website to see detailed pictures of the iTab's construction and the finished tablet.

 The first official take apart of the 3G iPhone happened in New Zealand due to the time differences. So, the guys over at iFixit flew over to be the first to get their hands on the iPhone, and take it apart. If you want a sneak peak at what we Americans can get in only a few hours, surf over to fixit.com to see the insides of the new iPhone.

 While this isn't a real G5, this did catch my eye. Insanely Great Mac's user nervouschimp filled the inside of the G5 tower with PC parts. Talk about an identity crisis. The interesting part isn't the PC in a Mac, but rather the mobility it has now that it is attached to a heavy duty skateboard. You either love it or you hate it. I think it is kinda odd looking, but I love the concept. Throw a different set of rims on it and I'd love it.
Take a look at the Insanely Mac Forums, post 561.

 The early iMacs are icons of the computer industry. They broke new ground in giving computers colors and "flavors" to choose from. While their meager MHz CPU's can even come close to touching modern day machines, they are still easily recognizable by almost anybody who has been around computers for the past 10 years.
So what to do with the old iMacs that are dying off? Graeme Sheridan decided to make use of his by turning it into a floor lamp. A word of caution before you read on. The old iMacs are CRT displays. The wires inside can carry a DEADLY amount of electricity, and the tubes can implode if not handled properly. Do not remove the CRT unless you are trained in CRT handling. MacMod does NOT suggest you remove your CRT yourself.
With that said, click here to go to his mod in our misc. mod section and see how he did it.

EFI-X's EFI-X 2 USB v2 is finally available for purchase at Computer Market. What, you haven't heard of Computer Market? You must not be from Bulgaria. Yes that's right. EFI-X is now available in a limited market, specifically Bulgaria and Taiwan. So if you know anyone in Bulgaria, now is the time to call in those favors. For €80 (or about $125) you to can boot just about any Intel chip into the Mac OS X environment.
Negotiations for worldwide distribution are still ongoing. The version 1 of the EFI-X USB is due out in three to four weeks (that's a first: version 2 out before version 1?). If we get a press copy of this to test we'll let you know how it works, and if you get one, please let us know!
