macmaniac Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Got my new ASrock mobo working. The sleep works. When it wakes up, and turns on the fans, it sounds just like my G5 waking up. (Its almost spooky). SO... I just bought a G5 case on ebay. Gonna make me a beautiful hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you post your hackintosh work here for other people thinking of doing it to see. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orea Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 There is never a powermac g3. g4 or g5 case on ebay in the uk. If you did get one off ebay, your lucky. I would pay upto £120 for a case like that. My pc rip-off id a bit crappy, mind it only cost £10.\ Any got one? BaYlisS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaYlisS Well....there was a G5 case last week, a touch expensive although your £120 would have got it, I think. If you want a G4 case- the Quicksilver is best for modding imho - www.scrumpymacs.com, and email the owner Phil. Tell him I sent you. Mine cost me £40 //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I just got a used G5 case today but it didn't include the wires to connect the front ports to the motherboard. I asked the guy I bought it from before I paid if there were wires attached and he said yes...oh well. Anyone know where I can locate one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nykwil Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 If anyone has the PROPER pinouts for the g5 case it would REALLY REALLY be appreciated. I've been through several different threads all of which have different pins representing different things for the power and LED switch on the I/O panel...all i need is to get the Power switch and LED working on my Gigabyte 965P-Dq6 mobo. i wish we can just get a standard diagram does anyone have that? and not some cryptic messed up diagram like the most recent pinout thread eaither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seperately, i can get the switch the power on my computer and when it's running i can get the LED to turn on...turns out the middle solder lead on the power button is shared by the msg led - and pw+ on my mobo while the 1st lead is the msg led+ and the 3rd lead is the pw minus. Seperately they work fine...but when i twist the msg led - and the pw+ wires and place it on the middle solder lead on the power switch it seems to go into a reset loop...I'm not sure maybe something is touching something it's not supposed to I need to solder it on and test it some more. When i look on the other side of the powerswitch board...right under the LED is what appears to be a resistor.... What i'm thnking is is there some sort of circuitry that is splitting the signals to prevent it from putting it into a reset loop or something? I'm thinking maybe it would stop reseting itself if i wired directly to the led itself? Edited February 25, 2007 by Nykwil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking maybe it would stop reseting itself if i wired directly to the led itself? i just wired straight from the buttons and the led, and then with an exacto knife i picked out and disconnected any of the leads (lighter green portion of the board surrounded by darker green) that goto either of them so they dont interuppt or use any of the other components on the frontpanel. i beleive the resistor you are talking about is for the power button fade function when it goes to sleep.

steven89 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Ive been modding a G5 case in the last week or so.. here are some progress pics.. will post updated pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Looks like you are making a nice job here! What motherboard tray did you use. Looks fairly similar to the Cooler Master tray that I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven89 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Looks like you are making a nice job here! What motherboard tray did you use. Looks fairly similar to the Cooler Master tray that I used. I used a Lian Li motherboard tray from Performance-PCs heres a link to it.. Link to motherboard tray As for my updates (if anyone is interested) i finally got the system in, now i just need a modular PSU, clean up wiring, get some fans, and then start designing a liquid cooling system hah Anyways.. here come the pics Can someone give me a link or send me a PM with how to set up the front pins? my case didnt come with any and right now im usin buttons/lights i made to test boards.. Thanks in advance!!! Edited March 6, 2007 by steven89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nykwil Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Some updated pics from one of my threads decided to just post it in here, I was able to get my watercooling rig setup entirely inside the G5 case Edited March 6, 2007 by Nykwil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Nice, makes me wish i had stuck at my mod! I love apple macs, my mac pro is immense but i miss the satisfaction from diy and i love watercooling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Nice, I am currently using a Quad core "Kentsfield" and getting temps maxing at around 34 degrees but this has been overclocked to 3.2 Gigs. Have you booted yet, I will be interested to see what temps you get on the processor. One thing you will want to watch on this Gigabyte motherboard is that if you remove the processor fan and heatsink & watercool as I did, the mosfets on the left & just below the CPU get pretty toasty as they are no longer cooled by the processor fan. In fact so much so that I have added a slot cooler aimed directly at them. Whilst they never gave any problems I did not want to cook the motherboard. I will try to get a picture up tomorrow when I bring my camera home from work. Once again, a first class mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dual 120mm fans are pulling cool air from outside the case in and back out the back. Granted none of my components are on and most likely the temps will change, but I dont think by about too much.

Nykwil Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) had to do this in Vista since I cant seem to find a temp monitor that works perfectly in OSX Been running Orthos in Vista for 5hrs and 30 mins now @ a 3ghz overclock. My idle temps are 31-32c Stress temps top out at 44-45c avg. I love how after being stressed my temps will drop back down to 32c instantly though. I'm pretty happy to get it running at 3ghz...I could probably push it more if I upped my vcore and what not but I'm too lazy right now...this computer has already taken enough of my time Edited March 7, 2007 by Nykwil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nykwil Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) took off the plastic on the case added a ccfl that i only turn on when i need to look into the case...it's off otherwise added a power and hdd status LED Edited March 15, 2007 by Nykwil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nykwil Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) Looks great!!!!!!!! Are you using the front panel? yeah the front panel works except for the power LED. I just went ahead and bought 2x3mm leds and wired em up to the motherboard. On the front panel I use the USB port the most, but the firewire, headphone ports and power button all work. I installed the HDD status led because..well frankly my hdd is so quiet I needed a better way to guage its status.
