The compact beast of a computer had sleek lines, but let\u2019s face it, the machine is pricey to say the least. So, rather than accepting a bad compromise and calling it a day, he loaded up all of his tools: a CNC machine and a 3D printer, and set out to make his own Mac Studio clone from the bottom up.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-243163\"\/><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Mac Studio Was Too Expensive..

He began with a teeny tiny mini ITX motherboard measuring only 17 by 17 cm and painstakingly positioned all of the components on it so that when assembled, it is nearly as slim as the original Mac. Before experimenting with aluminum, he created a 3D printed prototype and tested it thoroughly to ensure that all of the elements fit together properly. Every corner and screw hole was meticulously measured, ensuring that everything fits together seamlessly and seems clean from the outside. Only when he was completely satisfied did he send the files to a company that could make the entire chassis out of solid aluminum stock and make it seem as polished and high-end as the original.<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41C8DZtap0L._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"GMKtec Mini PC Computers Intel N95 Processor (Turbo 3.4GHz) 8GB DDR4 256GB SSD Desktop Computer 4K Dual...\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            GMKtec Mini PC Computers Intel N95 Processor (Turbo 3.4GHz) 8GB DDR4 256GB SSD Desktop Computer 4K Dual&#8230;        <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>12th INTEL ALDER LAKE N95 PROCESSOR &#8211; The G3S mini pc uses the 12th Intel N95 CPU 4 Core 4 Threads 6MB cache, burst speed up to 3.4GHz.
