Convert a Vintage Apple Macintosh Computer Into a Raspberry Pi Desktop Computer #piday #raspberrypi
If you love the vibe of vintage Macs but want something a little more practical then this project is for you. MechaNickW was inspired by Pi Day to update is old Macintosh with a Raspberry Pi, a small HDMI screen and a few other bits.
I was lucky enough to have someone give me a working vintage Apple Macintosh SE several years ago. They are neat machines, and were around when I was very young so somewhat nostalgic for me. While it was fun to have one, it’s not a very useful computer in the modern age. I’d wanted to integrate a Raspberry Pi into the plastic enclosure as a desktop machine for my electronics bench for years, and was inspired by Pi Day and the Instructables contest to finally make my dream of an Apple Raspberry Pi come true as a Pi Day celebration!
