Don’t be shy…. Make this your daily driver…
yoooo
Perhaps after upgrading the display
Where can I find the instructions on how you were able to replace components with the M1 ? Awesome video BTW !
@@growthoperatorsKA The old Studio Display is part of the “Aesthetic™”. Replacing it with the new one makes the whole design incoherent.
@@commentarysheep i dont think we should put design over functionality
I’ve seen a couple of M1 mini re casings but this by far the coolest and most desirable I’ve seen yet!
"The G4 Cube came before its time, Its time is today" sounded like it was straight out of a Apple Event
great video!
So your channel is about to blow up.
Kaboom
I can see the timer now!
Tty
And then act like it don't know nobody
HÈ HÈ HÈ
This is the the type of content YT needs more often to recommends
somehow youtube elected to play this at 360p on my gigabit internet connection and I genuinely mistook that as the intended effect and thought you wanted to do it to give it that early 2000s vibe LOL.
i think his shirt really would have helped you believe that 😂
@@mochixplants not nice 🤣
@@mochixplants OOF
Literally thought this channel had around 500k subs. He only has 3k! Criminally underrated channel, keep up the good work.
Really sick! I'd happily use this for my Mac Mini... hmmm, ideas ideas. Good video. I am disappointed you didn't cover how you got the display connected, that was the only obvious hangup.
I’d have to assume that he uses it for a lot of systems, so it must’ve been trivial for him, explaining why he didn’t mention it.
adc is dvi with a 25v power rail in it, apple made an adapter to power it and give you a dvi connection, he probably has one of those, one other hangup though would be the lack of ability to change display settings because it also has usb going to it through the adc connector, so no brightness or contrast adjustments
yes I think the same...I do have two of this beautiful acryl apple displays in my basement incl. cube power supply and ADC/DVI adapters...but I never managed it getting them running with modern MacOS. Same so many people I have asked about it in user groups.
That's an amazing project! The empty space should definitely be populated by an optical drive! If possible to retrofit the original drive, that'd look great to keep the toaster aesthetics :D
This takes the meaning of, "I am inevitable" to a whole new level.
Nice job, I want one, always loved the cube design. I think a Blu-ray should be in their in place of the old drive as others have said, dropping in a disk is one of the cool things about the cube.
So it’s basically a Mac mini but implemented in a g4 cube. Steve Jobs speech about it was improved
I absolutely loved by Cube, which is why I still have it in the loft waiting for the time that it can be upgraded. My bugs with the original design were always the sheer amount of cables it necessitated, for the powerbrick, the external speakers, and a dongle so you could access the paltry two USB ports. This M1 upgrade is an awesome solution.
Would LOVE to see the step-by-step conversion video.
I only have the cube's outer shell. I am too lazy to do anything substantial I just place the M1 Mini directly on top of that and call it done. LOL.
Looking to sell the case? Ill buy
This channel is criminally underrated
I've just subscribed :)
IKR!
Just subbed
@@RWL2012 agree
What a sick random video to stumble on. The Cube design is timeless
What an amazing project, keep it nic 😍
Hmm yes, keep it nic
This is awesome! Amazing project.
This made me happy 😄 the cube has allways been a nostalgic fav come on that design!!!! Killer 😍🔥
Well I got this recommended and I dont regret watching it. Epic
I needed to see something like this happen! its nice to see that amazing cube get a new life with an M1 inside!
This is by far the best and coolest M1 Mac mini. I just love it. The Video was awesome, I love that you have separat videos for more details
Loved the concept behind the video and the story telling format! Keep it up! Subscribed. ❤️
I just bought a G4 Cube off eBay so I can do this! This is something that I have dreamed about for a very long time! I always loved the Cube, but couldn't justify the cost when it was new, and then the tech changed so much that it was no longer capable. NOW I will have the Cube I have always wanted! I can't wait for the full build instructions on how to put the M1 components into the Cube properly. I am subscribed and waiting with bated breath. And, once completed, this *will* become my daily driver!
please don't do this
@@starletscarlet Why?
@@timfederwitz because less than 150,000 were ever sold and generally they are still functional computers that someone who wishes to use them in their original form (i.e. for music production) could make use of.
I have a G4 Cube and it’s so nice to look at. Always wished I could make it usable like this but I don’t really have the use case or money to try it yet.
Looking at the quality of your content, I thought you are a way bigger channel.
You’ve really impressed me. Keep up the great work.
This is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. Cheers to you, buddy :-)
Miss Nic is coming through with the quality content. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was awesome!! Great work, wish I had that cube sitting on my desk!
Can’t wait to see how you did it - especially interested in how you reused the speakers
This channel is so underrated! Instantly subscribed
Fun video nic! Keep the videos coming! I am now subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Wonderful project Nic! I have a Cube in storage, it’s still one of the most beautiful computers I’ve used. It was silent and has an incredible beauty. Apples current designs while minimal, seem to lack a touch of fun and soul. Whether it’s the monitor light that syncs to the computer or other humanist details. Congratulations on the project!
You, the man, looks timeless too!
This is sick! I've been really tempted to pick up an M1 Mini and gut my 2012 iMac for a conversion, to compliment my M1 MacBook Air, so seeing other people do even cooler conversions is really cool.
You don't have to, just use your iMac in target display mode and connect to thunderbolt of your Macbook Air.
You'll need the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to thunderbolt 2 (mini-DP) adapter as well as a thunderbolt 2 cable. You need to have High Sierra or earlier on the iMac.
@@harrytsang1501 Yep, already do that. The main appeal of an M1 iMac to me is the power plus lots of storage space (I’d be going for 2TB). The iMac announced today would do the trick if I could afford it.
@@sulliops bro you can just use an external ssd thats like 2tb
I knew I recognized you from Drew’s channels. Great video! I have a feeling your channel is about to blowup.
So glad the almighty algorithm led to me to this M1 sorcery 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I bought a Cube new. I still have it and it's packaging. Not going to tear it apart, but what a cool idea. Going to have to get a SH one and try this.
This is amazing! You are gonna grow BIG!
Thanks Nic ... you just made my day! ... I bought a G4 Cube many years ago and it has been in storage ... it is just great to make this work of art usable again! ... many thanks for this tip! ... Stay Safe, Happy and Healthy! ... Greetings from Singapore/Malaysia.
If yours works don’t mod it they’re worth a lot of money
Thanks for the heads up ... maybe I would look for a dead cube to work on :)
I still think this machine is one of the most beautiful computers ever made
Awesome video dude! You're gonna go far on CZcams!
G4 cube's design is outstanding, and beautiful even now.
that was the video if seached the whole day!! thx dude!! i love it
My apologies in advance if this is an interweb rando being harsh - your lighting and set dressing are beautiful. If you’re able to slow down and stabilize the camera movement in your b-roll, it would significantly enhance the use of those clips. Ken Burns effect, motion tracking, camera tripods/sliders, etc. What you’re doing in the video is a cool idea. The aesthetics of the G4 were as ahead of their time as they are more pleasing to today’s MacMini.
I appreciate the kindly worded feedback! Which shots looked bad to you? I was using sliders/tripods/OIS and stabilization in post. If you could provide timestamps I'd love to take a look. Have a great day! :)
Man I just discovered you channel, very good video
Still relevant all the way up and giving so much usefull information and knowledge
Keep it going sir
Apple should seriously make it's M1 Mac Pro a revival of the G4 Cube's design.
Now imagine creating a cube, 1/4 the size of the original, like a rubik's cube, but with the M1 and all need it (put it on a chin in the new iMacs). Now THAT would be sick.
This content makes me smile. Love this
Subscribed on the basis of this clip alone, wonderful stuff, great job.
The dvd drive mechanism is the key. Need that.
Man I want this!
man, checkmark
I've seen some people do this with iMacs but this is amazing. Love the c u b e.
This channel will have 100k subs before 2022
Wow this is really cool! Gotta new sub!
Would it be possible to adjust the hard wear through a mod like to handle more displays without the display link software?
1.79k subscribers. OMG! What incredible content. I see you with at least 100k subscribers by December this year.
That's an amazing mod! Great job!
love that. great idea. i love when old tech is combined with new ... thanks for sharing. greetings from Argentina. 💪👍🚐😀
Nice Job!
You do a great video and amazing history lesson too!
The M1 Mac mini is selling like hotcakes. Steve Jobs idea was just futuristic.
Great video and mod, nice work! 👏👏
Amazing work, bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
This is IT! I want this and 2013 mac pro revive with Apple Silicon!
I love this! Really. A cube owner since his release!
Super cool - great job!
incredible watch
AND HERE COME THE MAC STUDIO IN KE SHAPE OF CUBE
That's so dope dude. Really is the dream Apple setup
So coooooool! Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Seriously, Apple needs to hire you and start a “retro” department where you put modern tech in retro chassis. I’d pay to have that.
the lion king reference, made me sub right away.
Amazing! I’m hoping to do the same thing with my MDD G4 at some point. I still love its design!
Wow! Amazing! 🤩 Loved it! Subscribed!
Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻🔥
Subbed pre 1k- This is great
I’d never seen your channel before this video but I had to subscribe because you have way too few subs for this quality of videos. What a great idea too to put the M1 in a G4 cube- I’m looking forward to what you do in the future
This is so sick!
good job, i really like that device. the design is incredible and also the power of the m1 is incredible. i'm using mb air with m1 too. it is really big fun. I'm laughing to my friends, that they have to listen those fans xd
The battle between you and Luke Miani for Apple enthusiast supremancy will be legendary
I'm planning on doing this. This design still looks held up to date!
great video!, congrats man!
Great video - really tempted to do this myself!
Wow this looks sooooolo amazing and perfect the perfect mix between new and old, that cube does great with the new iMacs in different colors gives me hope that in the future Apple would try again something like this, just subscribed ;)
I really dig your minimal video style, great job! For the next chapter, I would suggest implementing a dvd drive and making the ports' cut out cleaner and better looking. Good luck!
Bro this is so cool!
this is really high quality content you need more subscribers
Well executed video! Why don't you have more subscribers? Nice job.
You deserve an award of some sort 🎖🥇
Very helpful video, thanks!
Soooo well written!
Great stuff! Would love to see this same conversion done with the iMac flat panel from 2002
i clicked faster than the M1 chip could load up every single tab on google
This. Is.
Amazing.
This is amazing!! Talk about the best of both worlds!! Fantastic idea and you pulled it off!! You should take that beautiful, cylindrical MacPro and do the same thing, with an M1X or whatever. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. And links for those who want the details! Perfect. ***** Way to go dude! 😃
Huh? I typed 5 stars... for sure. *****
Again... ?
Incredible job!!!
Nicely done! I had the same project in mind, already gutted a non working G4 cube just have to buy the M1 Mac mini
Would 100% buy this. Did you ever release a guide? What do you use to connect to the Cinema Display?
Super cool man. Well done
This case is even better suited for the Mac studio
Great job dude!!!
The space left empty can be used to integrate the ADC adapter, so it can run the monitor out of a single cable as before
