Dear Rick,

My question about the motherboard is how you get it working. When i only install psu, CPU and RAM it turns in too a loop of boot cycles, did you have the same problem? Some people say i have to upgrade the bios, but how can i do that while the motherboard keeps looping? question is about that cable for the power button? Can you tell me where you ordered it ?


Thanks for your effort,

Robbert

Hello Robbert

Well first I set my bios right.. Here >> http://www.tonymacx86.com/golden-bu...ild-i7-3770k-ga-z77-ds3h-16gb-ram-6850-a.html << is the golden build thread from Loginfailed with a guide to set the bios for ML.
The first only yes.. but after a succes full ML install and Win 8 install on 2 separate hard drive's and a good configured bios it was gone.

I've ordered the G5 too ATX cable here >> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...anel-to-atx-io-cables/page__hl__ powermac g5 <<

Just add a comment there that you want a cable and than he will contact you.

Hello Rick,

I cannot setup my bios by now, i have to wait for the cable to arrive (ordered one yesterday) thank you for that.

When i look at your pictures i see that you have your motherboard very nicely installed. I was wondering if you can explain to my how you fixd that with the aluminum plate underneath. The reason why i am asking is because i don't know what to do with al these pins on the backplate (see picture)

(on this picture the plate (where the motherboard will be) is still in there, but by now the right side is already out)

I hope you can give me some advice,

Thanks, Robbert

Hello Robbert!,

Okay, I removed these pins with a combination plier(I hope i say it good) and you need to be a little aggressive when you pull them.

Dear Rick,

Thanks for your answer,

My last question for now is: where did you get such a motherboard compatible aluminum plate? Or did you just fixed it yourself ?

Thanks, Robbert

Hi Robbert,

I bought a old atx case from here >> http://www.marktplaats.nl/z.html?query=atx+behuizing&categoryId=0&postcode=&distance=0 <<

And cut out the back plate and the mb tray.

What is that sitting on top of your G5 case in the very first picture (looks like a mini G5 w/ a white apple logo)? External HD?
