Hally_57 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks Nagal for the rapid response. However you can get different firewire 800 cables, some are 9 pin to 9pin, 9 pin to 4 pin etc. So do you know which one it is? Also nagal where did you get the front plate cover for your case?

I am *think* it is 9 pin to 9 pin, I can take a look tonight when I get home. I think there is one other cable involved and I will take a look at it as well.

Hally_57 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 That would be great thanks And where did you get the front plate which covers the front fans from? Many Thanks Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harloe Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Someone fund me to build one of these =P I am debating between this or a Hackintosh! Strongly leaning on this idea like I was before..! Anyone wanna buy a guitar? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagal Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 It is a 9 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable. The other cable (besides the SATA one I mentioned earlier) does not appear to be anything that you can readily buy off the shelf. It would not be hard to make IF you can figure out what molex connectors it uses and wear it goes to This is probably it http://www.applepalace.com/scripts/prodVie...?idproduct=7533 There is also another cable on the front panel assembly for the headphone jack http://www.applepalace.com/scripts/prodVie...?idproduct=7509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalperformer Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm so pissed it's taking so long to get my Build together... so close... sorry to disappoint but I snagged two quad 2.66 Ghz Clovertowns off of ebay for $665; non-ES. Couldn't help it... great deal. I also snagged a brand new Mac Pro enclosure with all the bits and pieces ... carriers.. fans blah blah blah for $300. Two extra sets of front fans and extra memory cage. What a frickin steal I'll mostly likely throw them up on ebay for resale if anyone is interested (cables, fans, cage, carriers - so HOLD OFF with applepalace). Snagged an airport card for $30 and 7300GT for $57. Guys... the deals are out there just look. As far as the harpertowns, my company funded me $3600 for a Skulltrail build which I ordered a pair of 2.5 Ghz Harpertowns, 8 gigs of RAM, 8800GT, Four SATA drives, Two DVD DL. I can't believe I got so much PC hardware for $3600. Once I get these processors I'll throw them into the Mac Pro for testing. I also ordered Vista Ultimate 64bit YUCKKKKKK for sh*ts and giggles; Leopard is the best. I'll try to Hackintosh that beast, I'm hopeful even though I read a report on a failed attempt.

Hally_57 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Digitalperformer what cables have you got? And Im interrested in buying the memory cage with rear fan, and the 2 front fans with pci guide, and if you have all the cables, them as well. Would you except $80 for the lot? Including delivery to Engalnd? Many Thanks Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalperformer Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Sam... sorry dude, I would love too but I'd be losing money on it; I want fair market value on it; not saying that applepalaces prices are fair market value (inflated if you ask me). I'm gonna throw it up on Ebay hopefully within the week if I'm not gonna use any of it for another project I'm working on. Don't worry I'm not going to rape the prices; but I'm not going to take a loss. Sammy.. as far as cables are concerned... I'll find you an alternative solution for that if you're willing to invest time into making cables; not difficult at all. Mouser has all of the necessary molex connectors and terminal inserts for the Logic Board. So far I'm up to $25 for connectors; cheap considering what each wire harnesses go for on the market. I was even thinking about making a few sets and throwing them up on ebay. Will keep ya' posted... Peace yo... Is anyone having problems posting pictures???

Listed1st.com Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Sweet! I have a PCIe Power Cable from an old modular power supply so I just need the connector for the Apple end of the cable Heya! Nagal, you'd honestly be able to run the x1900XT off the Molex port, I did it back in the day (Flash the card and all). I never had a problem running Half Life 2 at 1920x1080 with all the settings cranked. THough, I wouldn't recommend having a CD running whilst playing games. Just get yourself some molex spiters and run it down through. But if you can find the right pieces, it's definitely better to run it off the proper power port.

(Goes back to when we were discussing powering the water cooling setup) I thought of getting an adapter for the 4-pin molex of the optical drives but since I have a PCIe power cable, it will be very easy (thanks to the links dp provided) to covert that to work straight off the ports on the logic board.

digitalperformer Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nagal, you like my memory cage plagiarism? hehe... you inspired it, I'm gonna mod it a little more. I'm planning on making a bracket and a threaded shaft to support the left side of the memory riser. It's unfortunate I had to chop up my cage to make room; another Apple design flaw.

shaanky98 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi guys I have built a G5 hack before but now as I was reading through the forum I found out that you guys are now building a Mac Pro not a hackintosh correct me if I am wrong. I have managed to get a Mac pro case off ebay, now I am looking for the logic board and the other bits. Please can someone kindly tell me the best place to buy these in the uk.
