    Compatibility the other way-- I want to use my 27" LED cinema display and Apple Keyboard in Win 7

    So I have my hackintosh up and running in OSX. I am going to set it up to also have a windows boot. I went for the full Apple look-- PowerMac G5 case, 27" LED Apple Cinema display, Apple wired extended keyboard. On the windows (7) side, I'd like to have all the keys work on the keyboard...

    Question about how to use the buyers guide

    On the buyers guide, it specs the audio hardware, video outputs, and network hardware. E.g. for a given motherboard it'll say something like, Is there a directory somewhere of which of those items will work, ideally listed as OOB, with effort, not at all? If so, where? Or, if they're listed...

    Don't have a mother board or processor yet-- what's the best route for USB type C and Thunderbolt 3?

    I'd love for it to be on the main board, but can use a card if necessary. Most of all, I want the easiest 100% compatibility without fiddiling. Thoughts? TIA!

    USB C and Thunderbolt 3-- possible yet?

    My hackintosh pro build has been on hold, waiting for Apple's next round of desktop hardware. From a motherboard perspective, I did this because I was waiting for apple support for thunderbolt 3 and USB C. Are the macbook pro's a sufficient update, that I can move forward? Or should I wait...

    Looking for a firewire PCI card that has an internal header I can use with the G5 front panel...

    So, even though I'll rarely/never use it, I can't deal with it not working. Plus, I'm going to need a firewire card for some legacy firewire devices anyway. Is there a PCI firewire card that works OOB with OS X, that has an internal header I could use to hook up to my G5's front panel firewire...

    Obioban's Skylake PowerMac G5 case build

    So I'm really taking my time with this, as I want this to be the basis of my computer for a long time to come. I have to say, I feel a little funny about this. I've been buying computers from Apple for the last 15 years, and had them bought for me for the 10 years before that. But, I feel like...

    My first Hackintosh, PowerMac G5 based... shooting to do it once, do it right

    So I'm really taking my time with this, as I want this to be the basis of my computer for a long time to come. I have to say, I feel a little funny about this. I've been buying computers from Apple for the last 15 years, and had them bought for me for the 10 years before that. But, I feel like...

    Fan control... how does it work

    So I'm building my first Hackintosh, and one of the things I most want is for it to be quiet. Case fans-- I'm going with 2 140mm fans in the front-- probably by Noctua or BeQuiet! I'm leaning towards, but open to change, a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 motherboard. If I get a variable speed fan...

    Looking for internal 3.5" drive mounting solutions

    A perfect solution would allow drives to just be inserted from the front, like on the pre trash can Mac Pros. Slide to insert, SATA connectors and power on the back, and I could wire that to motherboard SATA and power. But, failing that, something that would allow me to stack 4-6 drives...

    Anyone put a filter on the inside of the front of the G5 tower?

    I'd like to put in a case filter, from under the tray the optical drive sits on all the way down to the floor of the case. Has anyone done this? Suggestions as to where to get such a filter? Thanks!

    Power supplies: Why are only corsair units on the buyers guide?

    Is there an issue with other types? Seems like... a straight forward piece, that has no OS interaction? Or am I missing something? I'd like to buy an EVGA unit... Thanks!

    Looking for a bluray/DVD/CD burner that works with the G5 case and is OS X friendly

    I'm in the process of building my first Hackintosh. It's a Laser have ATX with top mounted PSU build in a PowerMac G5 case. Anyway, I'd like to keep the stock mounting system for the optical drive. Is there a Blu ray/DVD/CD burner that can mount up there with minimal modification and plays nice...
