Mac Inside: Literally. M2 Mac Mini inside Windows gaming PC
Avaviel posted a topic in Cases and Mods
Please note I'm in planning stage right now. Nothing has been purchased. Or designed. Budget (including currency): n/a / $400ish Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: iMessage, Halo, gulper.com Other details: https://valid.x86.fr/jgwh1z Corsair 4000D Big question for TLDR: Take out mainboard/use 3D printed case or put in aluminum Mac mini box into PC. I'm not really sure if this would go builds help, or the Mac forum or case mods. Thinking about it... case mods. The PC is already built, the new thing is adding the Mac. When MAC address started being filmed, I started watching it. I had android phones, and I had Windows PC. I’ve been on android since the iPhone 3G. But watching Mac Address, it made me wonder if some of the Mac things could possibly maybe work for my style. Also, my mom uses an iPhone. And it’s much easier to help her out, if I use the same thing that she does. Now, here I am, I own the iPhone 14 Pro Max (why, yes, I DID buy it four months before the 15 came out,) An iPad Pro 11 inch, Apple Pencil, Apple Watch. However, each of those have been bought on some sort of sale. For example, with the phone, I mailed them a $150 refurbished pixel phone to get the $1000 dollars off. For the iPad it was purchased at the military Exchange. No tax! $200 off! The watch is an Apple Watch 8, purchased open box at Best Buy. There are some features that I want to try out, having the whole ecosystem together. For example, how well does voice to text act on a desktop Apple device? Siri? What about iMessage? All of the things I’ve seen online about running any of those inside a Windows box, involves much complexity, or, I could dual boot. But I would end up spending so much time. Or, I would end up needing to spend over $1000 on PC hardware to get the same kind of performance that this will have, and I don’t even want anything really special , added to that, you have the pain of setting up hackentosh. (A note, I tried to spell that out, using the voice to text on my iPhone, this whole thing is being typed that way, and it kept on one to say Anything besides that word.) The M2 Mac Mini can be found for around $400 or a bit less used. It's set up as a desktop. I have three monitors. That made me wonder, why not put one on top of my PC? Or INSIDE my PC? So, I’ve been looking at expanding this Apple Empire That has been growing. I have a triple monitor set up and I would like to use various smart KVM software to manage that. But the ultimate goal of all of this is to install the motherboard or the whole box of and M2 Mac mini into my Windows PC. I’m leaning towards simply putting the box into my computer and calling it there. However, I think it could be neat to do as many of these things internally and cleanly as I can. Maybe 3d print a case for the Mac mini board to go into? It’s small enough that it could be placed many spots. My day job is CAD work, and I have 3d printers. For monitor, I'm thinking that I will have a monitor that is devoted to the Mac. Another option, I’m wondering about virtual inputs... I really need to look into that. Or just remote into it. Power: this is going to be one of the fun parts. I found that it seems to be simple 12V: Fairy simple to add those Wires to the 12 V Rails on a power supply? Part of this would be upgrading my 750W to a 1000W PSU I think, to be safe. I would set The Mac to turn on it receives power. Also, I’ll try to figure out what button that ties to it, need the pinout of those. A failsafe would be simply A button at the back. Networking might be a little bit difficult? But I think what I’ll actually do is put a LAN cable coupling at one of the PCI slots. Same with other cables. KVM. Hopefully going software. I’ll most likely also have a few USB extensions specifically for pcie slots? I wonder if they have PCIUSB hubs, but the part that plugs into the computer is a dummy And only uses power from the slot. But then, it accepts USB-C and splits that out. The Mac mainboard -
Hello everyone! Longtime lurker, first time poster. I am hoping for some recommendations for a good keyboard and mouse combo belkow 100€. Must be wireless and utilize only one dongle. I am looking for long battery life and good quality. It's puprose is not for gaming, but for office work - it will be connected to a work laptop and has to travel between work and home with me. So far I've used Legotech's M185 & K270 combo. I was not too happy with it (mouse is too small) but they were for free. Now they've given up the ghost and I need a replacement to use for a couple of years. Any tips or hints?

Right now at Newegg you can get an spectacular deal on Zen 4. This combo features an 8-core Ryzen 7 7700X, ASRock X670E PG Lightning AM5 motherboard, and 32GB of 6000MHz G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5, all for only $499.99 https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4538151 I found this deal via Videocardz, and they found it from PCPer's Josh Walrath: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-7700x-x670e-motherboard-and-32gb-ddr5-6000-combo-available-for-less-than-500 According to Newegg, this combination of parts would normally cost you $731.87, saving you $231.98.

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right place to post this, let me know if its not I am planning to build a mini ITX gaming pc and i have questions about my cpu and motherboard combo I was planning to go I7 10700 with ASROCK B460-ITX AC or the H410M-ITX AC also from ASROCK because they are in stock and not that expensive (as i save my money for the GPU) My quesiton is, Wich one of these is the best choice, and, will this be enough to power my 8 cores cpu ? (are the vrms not going to explode??) If not, do you have any recommandation for Mini-itx Boards compatible with 10th gen intel cpus and that have built-in Bluetooth ? ( i dont care about wi-fi ) I can also downgrade to a 10th gen I5 if the only mobo that would run the I7 are really expensive but i really wanted a very good cpu. By the way, cpu will be cooled by a Masterliquid ML240 V2, if it matters. I hope you can understand my question trough my terrible english! (love from France), thanks you in advance for your responses!

I'm going to get a pre built but I can't decide on a combo. I'm planning to get a high end cpu for long term, just because it's a pain to switch the out, and once the gpu shortage is done I'm planning to upgrade the gpu. Which one of those combos do you recommend and if you have any other recommendations, please let me know! Also, what about the Ryzen 9 5900x with the Radeon RX 6700x instead? Trying to find a good combo, but one that would let me upgrade my gpu in the future, and let the cpu stay for a good long while. Thank you!

I have been looking long and hard for a multi device keyboard and mouse that has easy switch between devices. Now I'm not talking about the ones where you have to change from both the keyboard and the mouse, which does not make a true combo in my opinion. Im talking about a combo that switches both the mouse and keyboard with one click, this makes going from one to the other very smooth. At the moment, I am stuck with something from amazon that does multi-device but you have to pick up the mouse and click the button twice and the keyboard once just to have it over. There are no advantages to having to click 2 to 3 times... So, is there a good keyboard combo maybe even a mechanical one that syncs the mouse and keyboard? I would like to be able to do this easily but without any kind of extra load on the computers, so no using soft solutions (like the one sponsored by LTT). Edit: Current responses are not options for me. I don't want to use synergy or any other apps, please try to understand this. why is it so hard to find synced multi-device keyboard mouse combos? All I want to do is switch both my mouse and keyboard together from just my keyboard, Im trying not to make it complicated. Should be something offered as a feature... This link was posted before so I know I'm not the only one asking this question. https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Device-Bluetooth-Jelly-Comb-Rechargeable/dp/B085ZQ417L/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2SI49JYVO2CDR&dchild=1&keywords=multi%2Bdevice%2Bkeyboard%2Band%2Bmouse%2Bcombo&qid=1619484362&sprefix=multi%2Bdevice%2Bkeyboard%2Caps%2C262&sr=8-3&th=1

Hey gang, I need to find a rare animal. I'm looking for a backlit keyboard/mousepad combo. I found the K830 from Logitech but it's a tad expensive. Any other suggestions?

Hello good people of LTT forums! I am looking into buying one of the Schiit combo DAC + amps. I currently have DT770 Pro 32 Ohm (had to run them ampless for a while so got the low impedance version) and a Steinberg UR12 audio interface. I have buyers remorse regarding the interface, since it is ugly, has a very annoying LED and spikes the headphones output whenever it turns ON or OFF. (Should have gotten the Scarlett Solo but it was out of stock at that time...) I am wondering will Schiit DAC + amp combos (Fulla and Hel) cause any spikes when turning ON or OFF? Also, is Hel worth it for the extra features it has? Another question on my mind, DT770 have a max input power of 100mW, so would I have to keep the Fulla below 50% (max power is 200mW on 32Ohm) and the Hel below 20% (max power is 1200mW on 32Ohm) or am I completely misunderstanding that?

Basically the title says it all but ill guess i will make up a nice fairytale for context: Once there was a boy on his quest for good audio, He goodled wide and far and finally settled on a pair of Fostex T50RP MK3s. When they arrived their Earpads where flat and they sounded no good. Hmm said the boy "This is not as it should." With a brand new pair of Shure HPAEC1540 Pads they felt staggering but the sound was yet unflattering... Now that that menace is over lets get going with the real reason of this post. Basically i f***ed up and my current DAC + AMP solution doesnt have enough "oumph" to drive these bastards. Would love to have a Combo solution but im open to seperate solutions. Any recommendations? Funds are kinda running low so the cheaper the better but all rec's are welcomed, cheers! Oh and they need to be available in the Northern parts of EU.

hi , i just upgraded my internet to 1gb/s and i did a speedtest on it wired to the modem/.router combo they provided and i dont get some things , im connected with a ethernet cable cat 6 and my motherboard is b360 gaming plus with 1 x Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN controller and im tryning to understand why i dont get the full speed i am paying for ? like everytime i do a speedtest to a server closer to me ( New York ) i get the full speed but if i speedtest in Chicago or on the west coast like San Francisco i get a maximum of 640-650 mbs , so is the distance a major factor in my speed download/upload ? and if so is a cat 8 ethernet cable make things better ?

Hi, As the title suggests, are there any notable portable DAC + Amp combos that I can take with me on road trips? I have a OnePlus 3 and I'll be using Beyerdynamic iDX 200 ie. I've been looking at the Fiio A5 but that's only an amp. I went to have a look at the Fiio E17K Alpen 2 but is there anything of another brand perhaps even... that's better? My budget is hopefully around $200 +/- $50. Thanks!

Hey all, i'm about to buy a DAC/Amp combo and the Schiit Fulla 2 and the Micca Origen+ are the two i've been heavily considering. I understand that both have there benefits and cons. But I'm planning to get this now and then buy another amp sometime down the road. Any recommendations between these two. I'm having a hard time between these two and I could use some help. BUT if you have any other recommendations let me know below THANKS!

Hi i've had my DT 770 Pros for about 4 months now i used to use them with my pc alot but recently due to a situation that has occurred i am playing more on console (ps4). I have a modmic attached to my headphones and both the headphone and the modmic line go into a cheap little £5 usb soundcard and then that plugs into the ps4. The problem i'm having is that the headphones are turned right up on the ps4 and are still quite quiet. If i'm not mistaken an amp should fix this problem for me right? So i need an amp that will work with the ps4. Maybe i could run out of the optical of the ps4 into the amp/dac and still just use the mic on the usb soundcard thing. So i need some recommendations for amp or amp/dac combos. I have a budget of around £100 ($150) and need to be able to get it here over in the UK. I don't want to have to ship it over from the US if it is only available there. Thanks

Probably the best deal I have seen on an r7 1700 and x370 motherboard combo so far. The initial price is $438 usd, but when you put it in your cart and go to checkout it gives you an instant 50 usd discount bringing the total to 388 usd before tax. It is sold by amazon and comes with free 1 day shipping too.

I'm on a tight budget, and I'm looking for a great gaming keyboard-mouse combo. Between the Devastator II and the Redragon S101, which one would you go for? I'm also open to suggestions.

I have a problem with my current setup. I would like to livestream to Youtube using obs. The problem is my computer does not like when I livestream skyfactory 2 with obs and of course having google open since its live streaming to youtube. Im sure my computer can not handle it because of my cpu and or motherboard. So I would like to find a good combo that could handle such a task. Keep in mind its a dual monitor set up that I currently use and I would like to keep it that way if possible. I am not really interested in overclocking. I know that it can be great and very helpful, but I honestly know nothing about overclocking. I believe that anyone answering this would require additional information, my graphics card is a Geforce GTX 960 4Gb, my power supply is a EVGA 600watt bronze power supply (bit of overkill). The ram I currently have is DDR3. I am not sure if my current cpu and motherboard need to be known so just in case I attached two pictures. They are screenshots of my board and cpu information taken from CPU Z. Thanks for the help.
