Hi guys,
I'm sorry for my bad English . Currently I'm running an AMD-Hackintosh and this plattform create many problems with OSX. I have to wait for year to get a new kernel and i have a few little problems more (sleep, etc).
During the last days I saw a few G5/MacPro Case Mods and so I want to do my own case mod ... that'll be my first case mod.
Here's the config I'm thinking about:
CPU: i5-2500k / i7-2600k (preferred)
Motherboard: ASUS P8P67-M Pro
Graphics: Zotac 470 GTX AMP!
RAM: 4GB G.Skill DD3-1333
Case: MacPro 2008 / MacPro 2009 Case
Power Supply: Cooler Master Silent Pro M600
Optical Drive: LG GH-22NS
Hard Drive: Samsung HD103SJ F3 1 TB
WLAN: Linksys WMP600N-EU
I have everything except the CPU and the motherboard right now and I will add a Blu-Ray Drive, a SSD and a new WLAN card in the future. I think that will fit in the MP Case. I don't want to mod the case to much, it should close to a "real" MP ^^.
Here are my questions:
- Do I need a mobotray? The ASUS-board is a MATX-board, I think a mobotray is only needed if you want to use a ATX-board!?
- Which original components can I use (fans, ...)? Are the original fans good enough?
- Which case is better? 2008 or 2009 MP?
- Does anyone have a tip where I can buy the cases (other shops than ebay?)? I have found the webshop http://www.dvwarehouse.com, but I think the cases are too cheap :?.
- Which parts of the cases do I have to cut? I know that I have to mod the backpanel for my motherboard.
Thank you in advice and greetings from Austria,
Julian.
