Hello Forum,
I finally decided to do a G4 Powermac case-mod (i know, another one...), while i´m pretty confident in my handiwork, i´m not quite sure if the components i picked are compatible for what i want them to do. First my list:
- GA-Q77M-D2H (mATX for the G4 case)
- Intel i3 2125
- ASUS GT640-2GD3
- SSD OS- only harddrive (most likely a SanDisc Extreme 90 Gb)
- 8 Gb memory (Kingston or Corsair)
- be quiet! Pure Power CM L8-430W
I want to stick to OS X 10.6.8 SL for now, because i need to run Rosetta for some software i´m still using on my PPC eMac, that being the reason for Sandy-Bridge CPU. I also definitely want to use a separate graphics card (i know, the MoBo is cut out for on-board-graphics).
If some of You guys could go over the list and tell me what problems/trapdoors you see (system/software wise and maybe hardware- related, concerning the G4-case), any input would be highly appreciated. I also need buying-advice on a network card (i would like to use an ethernet connection) and a firewire card to use for my iSight and WD external HD.
Thanks for Your input,
Olli
