Август 17, 2017
Screwdriver set: https://amzn.to/2VdVFLy
I upgrade a Mac Mini 2014 and put in a SamSung 850 EVO 1TB. It's way better for virtual machines. The purpose is to build this as a dedicated crypto machine. If you're worried about funds it's better to have a separate machine specifically to handle accounts that can double as other stuff. Use virtual machines to isolate environments and encryption thanks to a speedy ssd. We'll cover this in other videos and how to use it with ledger and mobile wallets.
The specs 2014 Mac Mini 2.6Ghz i5 8GB RAM 1TB SATA. Purchased on ebay with 10% ebay bucks!
This Mini will be used as a full node for bitcoin, bitcoin cash, Ethereum, and anything else that requires downloading a blockchain ledger. I'll sue the 1TB sata in an enclosure to store the chaindata.

SSD Life Expectancy
SSDs have limited program/erase or P/E cycles. In this video I discuss the life expectancy of SLC, eMLC, MLC and TLC drives, as well as covering wear levelling, over provisioning, and TBW, PWB and DWPD endurance ratings.
Note that the data presented in this video was obtained from a great many sources, including all major SSD manufacturers, and was up-to-date as of 25 March 2017. Note also that the second SSD listed in the table of client SSDs at c.6:41 is a Samsung 850 Pro, not a Sandisk 850 Pro (which does not exist). Sorry! :)

$682 Skylake Mac Mini Hackintosh Build
Parts list and instructions: http://snazzy.fm/hackmini
I'm selling my Mac Pro but need a computer to run Mac OS X that can replace it. Since I already have a good monitor, and I don't want a MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini is my only option. The problem is that the Mac Mini hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and is ludicrously priced at $1, 299 for the fully-loaded model. I decided to build my own Mac Mini that's nearly as small, just as quiet, nearly as pretty and with much higher performance for a budget of $682.

Footnote #1: I actually bought the mid-grade model. At the time, I wasn’t sure the CPU coolers were the same across all 27” models. I have since learned that they are; so if you buy the cheapest 5K iMac, you can do all the upgrades I mention in this video without issue.
Footnote #2: This is not an instructional disassembly video. I recommend checking the guides on iFixit. They are well illustrated—provide adequate caution and warning for tricky areas—and have a community section where people provide advice. At the time of this video, there is no updated guide for the 2017 iMac; however, it's very similar to the 2014-2015 A1419 model. The only big difference is the screw placement on the motherboard. Just take your time finding all of the screws (one is hidden through the gold hole in the middle of the board) and you'll be fine.
Footnote #3: A little drama that wasn't included in the video is that the first time around, the CPU got bumped out of the socket when I screwed in the cooler, so the CPU wasn't seated correctly and the computer didn't boot. Upon disassembling the machine again, I saw the CPU was out of the socket and partially bent. I bent the CPU back (silicon bends easily without damaging, luckily), reinserted it into the socket, and was more careful when I tightened the CPU cooler the second time. It's easy to wiggle the CPU out of place when installing the cooler, so be careful—and if it feels too hard to tighten the CPU socket, stop—something is wrong.
Footnote #4 — My machine's GeekBench results: http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/3385894
The 27" 5K iMac is a good computer for many; however, to users that want high-end specs, Apple charges way too much money. Snazzy Labs pulls apart a base model iMac, upgrades the CPU, SSD, and RAM; showing the world the best iMac that Apple doesn't sell! Get the world's best iMac configuration for $2, 000 less than what Apple charges.
