Like I said, I installed it in a
Mac Pro No Hackinstosh (yet) so no Clover involved. It's an 'early 2008' Mac Pro 3,1. It's now declared vintage by Apple, meaning they no longer support it, for example they no longer build OS X for it. (You can probably somehow trick it into using 10.12, but 10.11 works fine for me.)
The brand is GigaByte. It shouldn't make a difference what brand you use though. I choose this particular model because it can handle 4K, it's cheap and has no fans, thus is 100% quiet, which I think is a very nice perk.
I think it's evil to stop supporting hardware just because it's
n years old. It still runs cirkels around many recent Macs and PC's. I plan on keeping and using it as long as it works nicely.
For decades, I used to make sure I always had two up-to-date Macs, so in case one broke down, I could always use the other. For example, I now have a 15' retina 2013 MBP as well.
I'm lurking around here now and then because I plan on building a Hackintosh for my next computer though. I'll probably wait for High Sierra and use a Kabe Lake CPU and put it in the aluminium case of my old G5, another victim of the bad solder debacle.
