Where do I start? This Mac was bought not long ago, and it needed a power supply replacement as the old one was not able to handle the load that the G5 needed. After being replaced, she is running great! Shoutout to Silverlane, Socamx, and The Lesser Kermit for helping me troubleshoot and fix the G5!

Built over a span of three days and almost a whole day of work, the Apple TV Pro came into existence. Being powered by the smallest computer I could find online, this thing is my most favorite project up to date. It pushed me to find new ways to get stuff connected, and to make everything look beautiful.
