Thank you - glad you enjoyed them!

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately the PSU guide that I read up on before taking on the project is now missing its photos (damn you Photobucket!). But in reality it's a fairly simple process. Remove both PSUs from their casing, figure out a way to mount the new PSU securely (I used glue &...

Yeah it's a bummer. I really can't wrap my head around it - even in a standard PC build where the card sits upside down the cable is still going to have to travel further than it would if the connector was on the back & will still look ugly as sin. No idea. And thank you! Thank you - I'm...

Kind words from the master himself! Apologies. I've just edited the post. Thank you!

Introduction The Power Mac G5 is my favourite case design of all time. The bold, clean lines and rock solid construction place it more in the realm of an art piece than a computer case. I’ve owned and used G5s and Mac Pros on a daily basis for a number of years, so ever since I ditched the...

Yep, lots of progress! Since my last post I've bought in, modified & assembled a fully working G5 Hack. I originally intended on snapping photos & posting here alongside recording & uploading the videos to YouTube, but with my only decent camera working hard on the video side it was pretty...

Impressive work!

(Possible) Solution: After days of failed attempts I've managed to get El Cap running. It's all a blur to be honest, but if I remember correctly I installed Clover with legacy support (through Unibeast), then restored my BIOS settings, ripped all of my other drives out, disabled VT-d, onboard...

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2V CPU: Intel Core i5 4570S GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 I'm trying to get El Cap up & running on my G5 hack, but I've hit a brick wall. I CANNOT for the life of me get the installer booting. I get stuck at this point (see pic) EVERY. TIME. There's literally no...

Thank you!

Sorry the late reply. I could already edit the signature, but I can't remove it (if that makes sense). If I leave the "Edit Build Signature" blank it defaults to listing a load of i5 CPUs (Main Build: - i5 4690i5 4690i5 4590i5 44...). I'd like for that to be removed so I can go ahead & type my...

Could you do the same thing to me? I've got this funky looking "Main Build" in my sig that I can't get rid of. Cheers!

Update 2: Power Mac G5 Disassembly & Final Plans Earlier this week I got around to disassembling my G5. It was a relatively easy job all things considered. A lot of people bang on about how much of a pain in the backside they are to gut, but aside from the top shelf/door locking mechanism it was...

Update 1: Power Mac G5 Arrival & Current Plans The wheels are turning! The centre of attention arrived today, the Power Mac G5 itself. It's a Rev.A with dual 1.8GHz G5 processors, 4GB of RAM, the Nvidia GeForce FX5200 (64MB) and 2x 80GB Apple branded Seagate drives. So, all in all, a very nicely...

The PowerPC Hub's Power Hack G5 Build [Work Log] I've moved the thread over to the Completed Mods section; Click here!

Installed Yosemite today. No real issues as of yet aside from the fact it really doesn't like going in to/waking up from sleep. Still looking for a solution. When booting in to the installer first time round it KP'd, so I played it safe and went with -x -v npci=0x200 boot flags. It booted in to...

Will do.

I couldn't find much via the search. Only people asking about it. Thanks for letting me know though. Building tomorrow!

[CONFIRMED] Gigabyte GA-H81N - Yosemite Compatible! Just wondering if the GA-H81N is supported under Yosemite? It's way cheaper than the x7 boards and still retains mPCIe. Thanks.

Looking to build a pretty cheap mITX system to replace my ageing Mac Pro 1,1. Am I good for Yosemite? Mobo: ASUS H81i-Plus CPU: Intel Core i3 4150 GPU: GTX 660 (Gigabyte factory OC'd) Thanks guys.
