Version 3 - Apple Power Mac G5 - Intel ATX Conversion i7 Hackintosh - Poor Mans Mac Pro
A walk through of my latest (3rd) ATX PowerPC build. DETAILS BELOW
*PowerPC G5 Case
*LianLi PC60 Motherboard tray.
LGA2011 Chipset
GA-X79S-UP5
i7-3820
EVGA GTX570 Classified
4x4GB Corsair Dominator
Platinum (2800MHz DDR3)
SanDisk 128GB Ultra Plus SSD
2TB 3.5" SATA Disk
Corsair H55 Cooler
Corsair TX650M PSU
The main differences between this build at the last are:
Use of LGA2011 chipset to take advantage of quad-channel memory.
Motherboard tray now secured by screws instead of Rivets so I can remove it for access.
Tidier front panel wiring loom.
I left two of the original motherboard stand-offs in place so that the mother-board tray could rest on them (flush).
I've used water cooling instead of air-cooling.
I did also original use a OCZ 750w PSU but it was so noisy I had to remove it :(.
