[Success] Modded Powermac G4 with Haswell Xeon.

[ChildOfBodom]

I was thinking on making a second one.
Swap the GTX650 out with an AMD card to match the red color scheme and make a second one black/green with the GTX650.

And heck maybe another one in blue with either a cheap i3 and using the onchip graphics or a Matrox card. Anybody know what those cards are for? I'm wondering since I never checked what they could do.
Even a better question, are they supported?

Nice work!! Would love to see how that Xeon scores in geekbench!

Am I forced to purchase a OSX license for Geekbench just to see what it can do?
Whole point of the thing was to keep it cheap in terms of an actual Mac haha.

Or would the 32bit 'trial' do the job just fine?

Still new to the OSX environment

Nice Hackintosh

Since you have 8 gigs of RAM the 64Bit GeekBench Score will be different (higher)

You can also search for a similar configuration like yours in the Geekbench browser results:

Geekbench is also available for Windows and Linux

Second run gave me 3660 - 14953

I would suggest using either BitFenix or NZXT extensions for your 8 pin and 24 pin and get some black wire hold downs like this to run them so they don't interfere with the case closing:

Good idea!

I had another extension cable (not sleeved) but it lacked the extra 4pin part for the 24pin connector
so that's a no go. :

I'll check some local stores for extensions.
