Thanks man for the fast reply,

What about $80 for the memory cage and front fans? Inc shipping?

[digitalperformer]

digitalperformer,did you happen to find the molex connectors that plug into the PCIe power plugs? I am wanting to get an X1900XT and flash it but not wanting to drop $30-$40 for the Apple PCIe power cable.

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)

Listed i also noticed an airport card attached to the prototype board.

Is that for sale?

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.

The Xeons and Coolers are in BIZNATCHES!! Tank, Video Card, and PCI Power Tap remaining. So close I almost came in my pants today

I was going to say you better post some pic but I see when I quoted you for the reply there are img tags but no images show up. Weird.

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.

Nagal, I got my order from mouser... the micro fit 3 molex six pin fits like a glove... happy slicing cheers.

Sweet!

I will have to order mine soon. I think I found myself an X1900XT for $40 It does not have a hsf on it but I am sure I can pick up an after market one without too much issue.

I've got 3 stock fan/heatsink! I take them off first thing and get the accelero S1! Definitely get the turbo module to go along with it.

I was planning on getting the Accelero S1 was not so sure about the turbo module but since you recommend I guess I can spend the extra $12 on it

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.

I'm getting a 1950XTX 1024MB in the next few days, and I heard that in the hack the XTX fan runs constantly at 100%, which means a noise problem, so how quiet is the S1?

Last time I looked, the US wasn't part of the UK. Is your economy THAT BAD now?

[digitalperformer]

The housing market over inflated, credit cards will be the Doom of our Economy... Geezzzz. Well at least we don't get raped with taxes as much as the Bristish . Socialized medicine is a wonderful thing; someone has to pay for it . Now wait in line for your X-ray.
