B&W G3 Hackintosh (Guide)
INTRO
Hi, This is a re-post of my long-running hackintosh build, using the old family 1998 B&W G3 powerpc.
This build started on the turn of 2009, with me looking to get involved in the hackintosh community
at the same time i was in the market for a new case!
The possibility occurred to me in storm of enthusiasm, and wasn't long before
i had found all the small constraints for this retro modern case.
Mostly, at the time, the community was really small but for an old forum ,insanely mac, where i managed to deduce along with others that it was a feasible build provided you used a really short mobo.
Originally i had seen the cooling possiblities as a major problem also, and i went on a tangent into watercooling(to limited success).
But after all the system problems that came with water-cooling, I made the shift toward the final setup.
The setup that would retain the most functional elements of the case and maintain
the ATX modularity, that this case is really quite good for.
So it came into form with the least modifications i could live with.
