its looking really good! are you just going with that one radiator then?

on my case, ive got two things to do, finish wiring the g5 board, and plug in your PCB when it arrives.

i could do with your help again on the g5 board. i have removed the metal covering for the ethernet, that was easy, but what is the best way to remove the black part on the back? i dont want to damage anything.

any help will be massively appreciated!

Use wire cutters like this for removing the blackbox and everything in it(there's just couple inductors):


I'll try to ship some of the boards at next week, please pm your shipping addresses.

thanks, ill try and hack it up then.

got one usb working 100% using a mighty mouse through it now, and copied 1gb through np, but the other usb inst so good. the red light comes on the bottom of the mouse, but it doesnt move the cursor. guessing somethijg isnt soldered properly?

I had this same problem when green wire were touching ground.

well i got good news and bad news.... both usbs are now working and i have sealed them with hot melt. but i managed to break off the ethernet connector! argh.

so my plan is to epoxy the usb apple ethernet adapter i have to use anyway(my boards ethernet is rubbish) in place of the broken one. saves me trying to solder the ethernet, as i am s h i t at soldering

Has anybody had problems getting their system to sleep on its own? Mine will sleep via the menu bar command, and also by scheduling it at a certain time. But it will not go to sleep if I just leave it and, say, have it sit for 30 minutes (at which point, according to my settings, it should sleep)? I was not having this problem in my old case. Every reply I have gotten has talked about grounding, and I have tried everything short of completely rewiring my front panel (which works). Any other ideas?

(XS)s0lid, just wondering - are you still taking new requests for these boards?

Snap, and what prices are you looking at for delivery and everything? (where are you based?)

Sorry if Youve been through this in the thread already, i read through all 40 odd pages last night and cant remember!

Cheers

This is for everyone whom is going to order PCBs from me:
Well Diabolik is the last one of those who ordered PCBs and is the last customer who is getting hes boards, i don't have enought time to make these and don't have access to pcb cnc anymore.

If somebody have access to pcb router or can ect pcb, i can and i will bring the gerber files avaiable for everyone

thanks for sending them!

i got mine this morning, was a little worried as it was in a royal mail jiffy bag saying damaged on it. but the pins bent back ok (fingers crossed). i was just wondering if you could post a pin out, as my firewire cable doesnt fit, it has the 8 wires, but the cable is 5 wires wide with 2 on the other side, also i dont know which way round the other pins are.

thanks again!

Getting that small pcb broken is almoust next to impossible unless you use sledgehammer
I'll make pinout image tomorrow or at monday.

yeh the damage wasnt to the pcb, but to the envolope. it had been ripped so they had put it in the bag to stop the contents from spilling. and it was only the audio and usb pins that were a little wonky! nothing major!

yeh a pinout would be good! this is the last part of my 3 year build!

[wlazara]

just got my pcb... thank you!!!! It looks great. Looking forward to the pinout...

Pinout:


E: Idiot me: 12V = 30V, didn't check the voltage right :f

Please check from this picture the orientation of frontpanels cable:
pin at rigth uppercorner is pin1

(SX)s0lid, if you would be able to post your PCB design files online that would be awesome. Also, would it be possible to get a 1:1 photoshop file to work with too? I am thinking of trying to etch a PCB myself. Thanks

thanks for the pinout!! really helpful!

just a quuick question about firewire though. i have rewired the plug for your board, but i have one cable left (white) to fill thee 2 12v pins? i believe white is 30v.

thanks for any advice.

Oh damn it i didn't remember the voltage right, 12V pins are 30V with no load (in nervouschimps pic they're 25V which might be the lowest voltage with hi load.)... My bad with that one
