We have featured a few Hackintosh systems here on Geeky Gadgets over the years, but iTableous, which has been created in the form of a giant white iPhone 4, has to be the best I have seen. This impressive creation uses a 102 cm (40“) Toshiba LED-LCD with a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, making it a visual treat for tech enthusiasts.
The iTableous measures 1.2 m long and took around 4 months to complete. It is fitted with full HD TV reception via DVB-T, an integrated DVD player, a mini-ITX board with dual boot options for both OSX SL and Win 7, a 4 +1 sound system, HD-cam, microphone, and external connections for Line In and USB. Together with an iPhone-Connection via Apple AV Composite Cable under the home button, this setup is as functional as it is visually striking.
Design and Build
The design of the iTableous is a marvel in itself. Modeled meticulously to resemble a giant iPhone 4, it captures the sleek and minimalist aesthetic that Apple products are known for. The attention to detail is evident in the placement of the home button, the volume controls, and even the iconic Apple logo. The 1.2 m length of the iTableous makes it a centerpiece in any room, blending technology with modern art.
The build process, which spanned over four months, involved intricate planning and precise execution. The integration of a 102 cm Toshiba LED-LCD ensures that the display is not only large but also delivers crisp and vibrant visuals. The Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels guarantees that every image and video is rendered with stunning clarity.
Features and Functionality
Beyond its impressive design, the iTableous is packed with features that make it a versatile piece of technology. The full HD TV reception via DVB-T allows users to watch their favorite TV shows and movies in high definition. The integrated DVD player adds another layer of functionality, making it easy to play DVDs without needing an external device.
The mini-ITX board with dual boot options for OSX SL and Win 7 provides flexibility for users who need to switch between operating systems. This feature is particularly useful for developers and tech enthusiasts who work across different platforms. The 4 +1 sound system ensures that the audio experience matches the visual quality, delivering rich and immersive sound.
The inclusion of an HD-cam and microphone makes the iTableous suitable for video conferencing and recording. The external connections for Line In and USB expand its usability, allowing users to connect various peripherals and devices. The iPhone-Connection via Apple AV Composite Cable under the home button is a thoughtful addition, enabling seamless integration with other Apple devices.
The iTableous is not just a display piece; it is a fully functional system that combines the best of both worlds – the aesthetics of an iPhone and the capabilities of a high-end computer. Its unique design and comprehensive features make it a standout creation in the world of Hackintosh systems.
