    My Hackintosh Pro

    Update. I had spent a bunch of time modding out the case as you can see from earlier in the thread. However, once I got to mounting the HDD's I hit a snag and got frustrated. After dealing with it as it was for a week or two, I decided to look into what was available in retail cases. Even...

    FakeSMC Freezing GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    Nah, I booted all the way into OS X with a safe boot and simply opened terminal.

    FakeSMC Freezing GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    Unfortunately the terminal solution didn't fix the issue. However, I was able to get it deleted by deleting the FakeSMC.kext and then re-running Multibeast without any of hte plugins checked. Everything is working great once again. Thanks for the help guys!

    FakeSMC Freezing GA-Z77X-UP5-TH

    So I had my hackintosh up and running perfectly except that HWMonitor was only displaying temperatures on my HDD's. I don't know why, but for some reason, this seemed important to reconcile. I did some reading and everyone seemed to say that the way to fix the issue was to install FakeSMC Kext...

    Thanks! Still some clean up to do with the HDD Cage etc, but I think it came out pretty nicely. All in all.

    My Hackintosh Pro

    So I tried updating the system definition to the newest available mac pro definition in Multibeast and the system got very angry with some panicking kernels. After I finally managed to get it to boot, I switched it back and was good to go. Just going to leave it until it impedes me from...

    My Hackintosh Pro

    So, when I last left off I was waiting for the an outlet for the back of my computer. I wanted a clean way to allow myself to plug a PSU into the wall without just passing a cord through a hole in the back. I had seen some other people mount outlets on the back and I decided to do the same. When...

    Help! Mac is too old to D/L ML

    Also, I'm using a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH For some reason Snow Leo is also not recognizing the LAN cable. Going to try multibeast when I get home and then follow that up with the combo update. If I can get to 10.6.8 I think I can get this figured out.

    Help! Mac is too old to D/L ML

    Hey guys. I'm in the process of building what is probably a ridiculously overpowered Hackintosh Pro at the moment. I have absolutely no problem paying for the software that I want to install on it, namely OS X Mountain Lion. I went to download a copy of Mountain Lion on my old MacBook Pro...

    Motherboard Tray Alternatives

    The Laser Hive also makes a tray, but it's on the higher price side. Just an alternative to the MM Tray.

    Ahhhhhhh. I see. Makes sense that you used the mount off of the other hdd holder. It turned out really nicely.

    My Hackintosh Pro

    Haha, no worries. I didn't want to clog up the thread with questions. I'm just sort of torn on deciding how to mount the fans/hdds, otherwise I think I've got a roadmap. I'm just torn on the HDD/front fan mounts and the prices. I like how you did yours, but I can't see how you mounted that...
