Hi guys,
I think its about time I showed you what I was working on over the long weekend.
Inspired by what you guys here have done, I attempted to do my own Mac Pro case mod.It would not have been possible for me to do if it were not for the work already done here by so many.
System is based on the following:
Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z/GEN3
Intel i7 2600K / 16GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
Mac Pro sata cables cut, removing the SFF8087 connector, 2 SATA leads cut, and soldered to the mac lead. Power is supplied by molex connector. Rear IO is just extended USB, LAN and Audio out to the mac ports. Front USB, Audio, Power LED and switch work fine. A JB welded mATX tray was used to mount the motherboard and aligned with existing IO slots. The rest is just 3M dinoc film covered plastic to finish off the big gaps. Cannot find a good price for the CPU/RAM cage, so I will have to keep it as shown.
