    neilhart's Mac Pro Hack

    Anyway you have that picture still of the 8-pin mini-molex to power the harness for the sata drives? Its a 8 pin mini molex and I found a picture from you on someone else's thread but it would seem I didn't save it or I can't find it now..... I have the max-connect to hookup the sata and that...

    Mac Pro sata wiring harness help?

    Okay so I went out and bought the max-connect for the sata wiring harness.... But it only connects to the sata, there is still the mini 8pin molex required to power the drives themselves. I *HAVE* seen mooners thread and diagrams about this, however I cannot make sense of them. From what I...

    neilhart's Mac Pro Hack

    Wondering if your using the raid card from the maxconnect or if your using a sas to 4x sata convert cord directly into the mobo? It looks like you directly plugged the 4x sata into your mobo... did you buy the maxconnect female to female adapter+ mini sas to 4x sata cord without the raid card...

    Mini sas coupler? psu convertion? Converting 2006 mac pro case (with all fully functioning guts to u

    As the title suggests, I had some extra money and I won a auction on a functional mac pro 2006 off ebay for around $130 after shipping (was in alberta, I'm in bc) I've since gutted the majority of it, I have taken out the case fans, super drive caddy, power supply caddy, cpu coolers and the...

    G4 Mod: The Free Case Turned into Production Rig

    Pretty cool design, actually gives me some ideas about mounting my PSU, I wanted to use a very large cpu cooler so I think this will enable me to actually do that by mounting it under where the cd drive used to be. However I am kind of worried about it overheating in that spot due to no direct...

    Hackintosh or Macintosh?

    I used the vanilla install on mine and I've had zero issues, in fact, I had a older vr of mavericks and was able to update without worry or issues, it didn't brake my install in otherwords cuz its a vanilla install. Biggest thing is just simply doing your homework. Don't worry if the board has...

    Hackintosh or Macintosh?

    Personally I'd just do my homework and buy the right parts.. if you have the right parts you should be able to vanilla install and then updates are not a problem since your not using a edited dsdt. This means that your using parts that are for the most part used in other real macs. Like the dual...

    G4 Mod: The Free Case Turned into Production Rig

    Can you elaborate on other ways to mount the psu? So far the only way I've seen it is an atx one in the top of it where the old one is.

    Great build regardless, I really like the look of it and what you've done with it, gives me some ideas! And haha at "Yay, i wired this correctly."

    Personally I'd like to stay away from edited DSDT since I'd like to be able to take any upgrades possible without ruining my hack. I like the vanilla install used here, I used even less settings on the system I use now and I love how compatible it is so for me thats a huge lure over edited dsdts...
