I wonder if he knows that OSX reduces the performance up to 50% for Macbooks without a battery

I was about to do the same mod (I have a MB with a bad battery, broken keyboard and superdrive) when I read this.

Guess it’s just better to fix it…

This is my favorite hack ever! And I love the idea, that if my macbook dies some day, I know a nice project for it.

Any chance we could get a how-to from its creator? I’d love to make something similar.

I checked the measurements sometime last year, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to make a PC using a pico-ITX board and a 2.5″ HDD or maybe flash SSD inside a standard 3.5″ drive enclosure. There are a lot of sexy models out there, and most of them already have nice power switches and other parts that you could fuse with the board’s PSU to make it look just like a normal external drive! I also checked, and using a slim optical drive, you could put a whole PC inside a standard 5.25″ optical drive case. I would definitely try this myself if I had the time and money to spare.
