Hackintosh in a PowerMac G5 Case - Start up

[videopigable]

So does your motherboard just fit right in?

[andj2009]

or you could just buy an actual mac...

It works ??!! It works !!

[iMeMyseIf]

I've seen a lot, but this sucker takes the first prize.

He:

1) Buys an empty Mac (like all Macs should be!)...check.

2) Converts it into a PC..check!.

3) Throws the PC into it. Although NOT retaining the only thing Apple is good at (the sleek design) at least it works. Sanity of yours truly is still intact...check!

4) And the OMG after all this hazzle he installs..MacOS??! %¤#%"#/&

Can't compute....logic not present..sanity dysfunctional..beep!

A real PowerMac is MUCH more organized than those boobs.

Anyone else think this guy sounds JUST like Owen Wilson?

hey.. I have tried to get the USB and firewire working on two of the 'custo macs' I've built.. did you use the multi pin connector, or did you soldier directly to the sister board?

[oerunekoi]

Hey man how do you able to make work the rear fans? i tried on one of them and i burned.... :( do you have a manual how to connect the 4 cables?

[simonhead666]

@oerunekoi Hey

The rear fans are hard to get working.. I did get the Hard drive fans to work by modifying a molex connecter to feed them 5 volts from the ATX power Supply.. IM me.. I have the pin out schematics all of the G5 sister boards and fans

[IntelligenceISeek]

so, now you dont sell the front i/o port 18pin to atx, what do we do now?

[enjoyfebruary]

@SpikezHackz About 80 bucks. They are a lot cheaper now however.

[kwebber1234]

hey how did you install the cd drive?

[enjoyfebruary]

@kwebber1234 The CD that comes with the G5 uses special screw in standoffs to mount the CD Rom into place. I just used the ones that came with it and screwed them into the new drive. Whala!

[meezyrmcrs4ever]

@enjoyfebruary whats whala suposed to be??? :) do you mean voilà?

[rinkavideos64]

@enjoyfebruary Voilà :)

[Minihacker384]

How to u get the power Mac g5 power supply working for ur atx motherboard??

[enjoyfebruary]

@Minihacker384 Didn't. I replaced the guts of the G5 PSU with the guts from a standard PC PSU. To use the G5 power cable that runs power to the HDs and CD you have to modify two four Molex ends into an 8 Pin Molex connector.
