For the people out there wanting to obtain a mac pro logic board. Here's one I found on ebay, the guy doesn't really know what it is... therefore it could be a cheap buy.

It takes him about 2 weeks to ship his stuff though... I actually had bought that one from him already (along iwth some others), but after 2 weeks, I just gave up and forced a refund. But the hardware is good stuff! |

I'll give you one thing, the 8800GT is SWEET! But I wasn't able to get the drivers installed under bootcamp. I downloaded the video drivers from nvidia.com but they said "No supported device detected". This was in my prototype system, so I switched to a retail system, same thing. I ended up downloading the BETA drivers from NVidia, and Boom! Worked!
So If anyone runs into that problem, get the beta drivers from nvidia.com Oh, and when I switched my hard drive and the 8800 GT to the other Mac Pro, Windows said "Oops, your system has changed, time to validate"...... again. Microsoft sure makes it difficult for people who purchase their software. |

Listed1st.com, I'm interested in buying that proto board you had (the first board).
Is it worth it? Any problems with it? Did you manage to get the sleep mode to work? Is the power supply in good condition? |

I'm pretty sure the standard mac pro's have Hitachi drives in them. My mates did. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. Yeah, stick any hd in. |

Any 3.5" Sata or SAS Hard Drive (With the exception of the Velociraptor) Will work in the Mac Pro without any modification.

hi nagel i check you machine serial and i found your machine is still under warranty... and your mac pro is ver3 did anyone check for you already...? next time just bring your machine to service center to replace the part... if you need proof you can mail me your add i send you the picture ( novex1984@gmail.com) i have a stupid g5 casing in my lab i wanna put the mac pro logic board in with some casing modified. i can order part anytime but not really cheap lol. apple service part quite expensive. have to save some money 1st but you guy got any idea for the processor i try to cut down the cost... i believe the only original apple part will be power supply , riser board , heat sink, north bride heat sink , front i/o panel is very easy for me to get of course logic board too...
