Hi guys,
As summer's coming, I thought I could use my spare time between sunbathing (and other summer stuffs) and build a hackintosh out of an old G3 B&W case (the G4-like) !
This is my first build, but with all the impressive work that was made on tonymacx86, this will probably not be an issue !
I've seen some amazing G5 case mods (cf eelhead's G5 Case Mod), that made me thinking about my poor old G3 !
Here's the config I'm thinking about:
(I've chosen some components that were recommended by tonymacx86)
- Since the G3 is more of a mini tower, I'm thinking about the GA-H55M-UD2H motherboard because I think the others won't fit.
- As for the CPU I'm not sure yet but I hesitate between those two: the Intel Core i5-760 2.8 GHz or the Intel Core i7-870 2.93 GHz (I'm not sure about the second one for heat reasons, but this may not be an issue ?)
- The GPU will probably be Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB but is the 5870 that better?
I'm going to start the mod in late July but I want to know your opinion on the config first.
Sincerely,
Duke.
Edit: I saw on amazon that the HD6870 wasn't that expensive so I guess I'll take that GPU.
