I put my latest hackintosh in a PowerMac G5 case. I just wanted to show the I/O cable working and how crazy quiet it is. I sound like a complete idiot in this video. What I meant to say was that I tried 10.6.2 on an 80gb which gave me the CMOS error (as seen in video). So i was installing 10.5.8 on a 500gb HD.

  • So does your motherboard just fit right in?

  • @videopigable A standard mATX will technically "fit" into the case.

  • hey how did you install the cd drive?

  • @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!

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

  • @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.

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

  • 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!

see all
