I'm doing build three but with a HD6870 instead of 6850. If I buy the last generation (Pre-thunderbolt) 27" Apple LEd Cinema Display, will everything work on it?? (ie. camera, speakers, mic and hub ports on the back) Would like to know before I drop the cash on a refurb from Apple Store.
Neilhart, Can you please tell me the pin out that you used on the 8 pin connector combining Mooner's and incorporating the 3.3vdc? Also interested in the front i/o board side of the OEM audio cable that you used, what did you connect it to?
Neilhart, GREAT BUILD!!!! How did you complete your back panel mods?? Do you have any pictures of the process you used to maintain such a clean look. Did you use a motherboard tray at all???
Re: Hack Pro Take 2, its time to upgrade
PT, Nice build!! Excuse me for being an idiot, but did you use the existing apple mini connector(8 pin Molex) that Mooner said he would have if he had to redo his build? If so with the clip on top looking at apple's male mini-molex 8 pin, what would...
GC2,
Eelhead's build is a G5 case if your going with a G5 then his is really good to follow. If your building in a newer Mac Pro case (2008 or newer, the one with 2 optical drives) then I suggest you look at Mooner's Thread.

Mooner and PT,
Thanks for the quick update. I'm waiting for my cases to arrive. Ordered a G5 case then decided to get a Mac Pro case, so now I have two. I'll start the build once everything gets here and I'm back from training, so it'll be about a month before I can start posting pics. I'll...
Mooner,
I've been studying your build intensely as I'm getting ready to do a similar one. Question regarding your Hard Drives. I see where you got your mini SAS to SATA kit. In your configuration are your SATA III drives working at 6.0Gb/s? or does using the existing Apple MAC PRO Sata II...
Snapman thx for the quick response to my query. I have upgraded to lion on the iMac before the screen broke. Prior to lion, I was running SL that was installed off a retail disk. When I bought my Mac in 2007 it came with leopard from factory. So seeing that my SL and Lion were both retail...
My iMac is dead. Screen gone. Can I use my 1tb hard drive from it and install it in a new hack pro build and just use iboot and/or multibeast to get it running? I buy the family packs of all apple programs like SL and Iworks and iLife. And have alot of programs already installed. I could do a...
