sorry dddirtman didn't see this,
The cube building is going a tad slow but it is almost finished.
I am working out some finer details on the project and have to make sure that what I produce can compare to the Cube mods we currently have lol.

lol you wont stop at one if you start

Okay, so I found an "A+" condition on ebay for $60, and the motherboard tray is $60 roughly. So for a case like that $120 is cheap.

I have my 2010 Mac Pro but I am going to wait a bit on modding it.
I want to put a great gaming rig together but it's going to be expensive so until then I will sit on what I have.
The G5 was retired to a friend a bit ago and I have 2 1/2 G5s to mess with for something epic and the Pro later on will be my main but for now I am using a Corsair 300R case for the Sabertooth and a Silverstone Tek GD07B for the GA-X58A-UD3R.
I will do full user builds on there with pics and a nice quick guide as well for them to add into the X58 section

love those corsair 300 cases. i did my first x58 hack in one of those,then
migrated to g5 case


ben working on my real g4 updating ram.ordered a new cpu(powerpc) for it
there are aftermarket updates for g4's I'm thinking dual 2.0gig ppc's
this runs tiger pretty good...i know a bit old school but i love this machine...

I am thinking of doing that with one of the Cubes, snagging a Sonnet card for it and running Tiger on it for giggles.

i hear u
with the processor update i can run leopard instead of tiger

I had 2 H60's both were defective with the load pump noise. You're lucky
