Yesterday i got contacted by a writer on TechRadar and he asked if he could use one of my mods in his article. After agreeing, i read the article and found my mod along with one of aquamac's mods in there too.
Article can be found here.
My mod is number 7
aquamac's is number 2
Unfortunately Psystar took number 1
After reading some of these articles, i found out that the writer was very rude about these mods. If you have a beef with him, contact him here, and put in the subject line "Top 10 completely bonkers Mac mods article"
Article can be found here.
My mod is number 7
7. The Biohazard iMac
It's hard to believe looking at this mod that the Rev A iMac was Apple's saving grace when it arrived in May 2001. Its fundamental beauty wasn't enough for its former lady owner, so she painted it black and stuck biohazard logos all over it. It's enough to make many Mac owners weep.

2. The Hackintosh
A Hackintosh can be two things - either a PC running a hacked version of Mac OS X, or a PC lurking inside a Macintosh case. We're looking at the latter here. Obviously, the aim is to sate someone's desire to create a PC that a) isn't beige or b) doesn't look like it fell out of the ugliest tree in Ugly world, hit every branch and then gave itself a back-end-of-bus makeover. Of all the PCs Apple makes, it's the Power Mac that gets most x86 transplants. Which rather begs the question: why don't you just buy a new Intel-based Mac and run Windows on it under Boot Camp?
