If you were disappointed by the fact that Apple used MacWorld to debut a new, larger laptop rather than a smaller, netbook style computer that many had hoped for, then worry not, because one clever modder named Gregory has found a way to turn an Asus Eee PC into the mini Mac of your dreams.
Called the Eee Mac, it’s a 9-inch netbook that uses a custom install of OS X, and even includes a glowing Apple logo in the back that’ll really psyche your friends out. Plus, the wi-fi, USB, SD, and most things work, with the exception of the ethernet port and the camera, and it boots in just 40 seconds into either OS X or Linux.
Not ready to dig into the case? Then Gregory also makes a 22mb disk image available that will get you up and running on your very own Eee Mac with just the addition of a retail OS X disc.

It’s hard to deny that Macs and Legos are two of a typical geek’s favorite play things, so when you combine the two, nerdgasms are sure to occur.
Inside of this full-sized Mac Pro replica is a PC running OS X, as well as a Mac Mini, and the outside is 100% Mac as well, compete with a Steve Jobs minifig looking out from atop the Apple logo.
Specs include 2,588 Lego bricks, a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo Hackintosh, and a 1.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.
Now go change your pants.
