GreenSpadez Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 As the title suggests, I had some extra money and I won a auction on a functional mac pro 2006 off ebay for around $130 after shipping (was in alberta, I'm in bc)I've since gutted the majority of it, I have taken out the case fans, super drive caddy, power supply caddy, cpu coolers and the functional motherboard with cpus still in them (2x 2.66ghz dual cores for a quad total)So all that is left is the front panel and the majority of the cords from the inside.What I would like to do is keep the mini sas 36 pin male to sata 4x female+power ports that are on the back of the drive hot slot, so I can add/remove drives like its meant to be.TLDR:The part I'm after is a FEMALE mini sas to 4x Female sata cord. Or a female to female mini sas to mini sas coupler. Needs to be 8807.I assume that should work, but I also assume I'll need to trace the wires back for the powers and figure something out for that as well....Has anyone ever heard of someone converting a 2006 mac pro? This is *NOT* a g5 case.The power supply seems really good too, its a 980w but it looks like I would need to buy some cords or build some cords to be able to power my computer properly.... I have a 650w atx psu I have on the way, but if possible I'd like to use this since it seems to be better, plus it fits perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
