Okay so I have decided that I want to build a hackintosh. I was first looking around to mod a g5 but I came across the Mac Pro case as well. I was comparing pros and cons of each case. I want to build this hackintosh with the least amount of cutting/welding possible. I don't own a dremal so I really just want to mod a case without it.
I heard if you buy a mATX motherboard, it will fit right in the Mac Pro case without any modding and the stand offs should line up the same. Is this true? If that is the case, then I want to buy a mATX motherboard and mount it without using a 3rd party motherboard tray and for the back I/o I would like to run small extenders to the back of the case from the motherboard and glue/mount it that way.
Does anyone see what my vision is and could anyone help me or at least tell me if everything I just said is even possible?
Thanks so much. Craig
