So obviously that was what was holding me back, made it into macOS but got stuck on step four. No such EFI partition on my desktop. I may or may not have ejected it earlier because I forgot i still needed it :banghead: Should I just admit I'm an idiot and restart or is it fixable? lol i really...

Let me see if i understand correctly. The reason my install isn't working is because I'm using a VGA cable? Not for another reason?

Does VGA not work in this config?

Good questions, thank you for the fast reply. VGA output, XL2420TE monitor (it's 1080p) connected directly via VGA

I've been using all of the documents and been following all of the instructions in the original post. Install keeps getting stuck on the line "IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, nov 0, sm 0x0" Optiplex 7020, 4790, no GPU. Any help or link to a solution would be appreciated...

Wow, that's really good looking. Color me impressed

Very clean so far, I'm impressed.

You can only eyeball it. Check how close the port is to the edge, the further away that is the better.

Correct, an intel stock cooler. Another, better cooler in the same footprint is the Noctua NH L9I/a

I'm pretty sure you're just unlucky, i compared a few optical drives and they all have the same mounting holes as the OG optical drive

Alright, that makes sense. I guess i'll just put my case back together and check it with two. I had had some issues with not fitting flush, that i may or may not have solved. Thanks for the help, guys.

If i were to remove one of the three hooks on the door latching mechanism, would that particularly affect the door? I need to make some room for a radiator, and the easiest way would be to cut into that piece. It would be the forward most hook, if that's important

Hey, i'm subbed to you! Read that all in your voice, lol Welcome to the G5 modders club, I look forward to seeing the results! :)

Already have the stuff i need, making a custom tray. I just need to know what the length the standoffs are. I'm using the MM PCI shield, so it's going to be useful to know in order to help with mounting it

Does anyone know what size standoffs come with the mountain mods motherboard tray? Need to know for my upcoming build, it'll make things way easier if i know the size they're supplied with Edit: I've been told they're 3mm plus threads, can anyone confirm?
