    Hackintosh from old Performa 550 - Update 8/1 - Disassembled

    While cleaning out my father-in-laws this past weekend, I was bequeathed with an old (1994) Mac Performa 550. It still fires up and runs ok on OS 7.6, but while neat, that has limited enjoyment. So I'm thinking of gutting it, retrofitting it with an LCD and itx mobo and a fair amount of HD...
