I've read most threads regarding Power Mac G5 and all the Mac Pro Case mods I can find. I know what I'm getting my self into but a Mac Pro case is what I'm going for, I just purchased a new 2006 Mac Pro Case all the original wiring is included except for the PSU. I'm not going to be using a mobo tray or the mountain mods rear i/o plate, it would look more original without it.
I'm going with a mAtx board, I been more decided on a GA-B75M-D3P mostly because the on/off usb charging. Im going with a Intel Core i7-3770K.
My main concern and choosing a PSU is quiet and cool I used to own a corsair 650 and it was loud and made my room hot to the point that if the pc was on I had to turn on the a/c. I'm thinking of getting this PC Power and Cooling Silencer 760W High, if someone can please give some input on my PSU concern it will be greatly appreciated.
I'm very excited for this build due to the fact that a lot of time and effort is going to be put in. I plan on using the hot swap feature in the future for now I'm going to be running a OWC mercury extreme Pro that I already own. I've studied electronics and know how to solder but the dremel is going to be a first, and is a crucial part of the build for case modification.
Wish me luck. I will have most the parts for my build from here to 2 weeks, will keep you posted.
