Graphx Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Okay I have seen that it can be done. Is there a matx motherboard that will fit the case without haveing to hack the case besides the i/o ports or the motherboard to much. I like to buy one that will allow me to use X86 on it as the OS. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphx Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Would this board ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA allow me to mod the g4 sawtooth and then run Tiger or Leopard on this system. The processor will be a Sempron processor rated at either 1.6 ghz or 1.8 ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphx Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Oops, forgot to ask if anyone has used this motherboard in a mod and if you did what are some of things I will have to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmatose Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I got the Asus P5B-VM. Its a good board and is supported. Has onboard video and a PCIe slot + two legacy PCI slots. Nice board overall. And natakim, you totally butchered that case! Theres much better ways to get air into the machine! One of these days when i get a digital camera I'll post the right way to do a G4 air intake mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natakim Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 karmatose, it's actually to throw the air out (so its not intake, rather extraction). there is a panel i put in front of the fans, made from black steel mesh, which cleans up the front view.

karmatose Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I see. Would love to see a picture with the mesh in there. Always looking for ideas to improve airflow. However i dont think i could justify loosing my cdrom bay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
