Hello and welcome.
I'm Badaboum03 from tonymacx86 and I am a long time reader. I love Apple, computer and hacking. I'm currently 17 and I'm planning to do engineering next year so this is why I'm really into it.
I have been using Hackintosh since 2008 and I couldn't stop using it 'til there
The Macs are the most beautiful-looking computers ever, I have a Macbook but I don't like buying an already built computer. This is why I wanted to build my own Mac in a Mac case.
On sunday, I was on a Belgian second-hand website and I saw an offer that I had to take.
A guy was selling his G5 with broken power supply for 75€ but he agreed to trade it for a broken laptop. The lucky guy who I am had a laptop ,that I found at the trash,in my garage, a Compaq N800c. The seller was very enthusiastic to get my laptop so yesterday I went to do the exchange.
Then tadaaaaaaa, I got my free G5 Of course it wasn't in a perfect condition but anyway, I got it for so cheap that I can pass over it.
This is the beginning of my long adventure, so keep waiting for it
02/08 :
First day of prepairing the beast. Today I got an afternoon off so I decided to take appart it.
I had to clean it first, was very difficult but I made it.
It was also a pain to remove all the components and I didn't finish yet but I made lot of progress.
I want to sell the useless part to me, like the processors and the RAM which are still working great.
