Eric.C Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 awesome system, but how come it only scored 10 points higher than my dual core system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchase Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 if you look at the xbench i think the machine would really benefit form raptor hard drives. it seems to me that xbench places a lot of emphasis on data transfer rates and the drives in it are regular sata drives. when benched vs. anything with 10k drives it seems to "rank" similar to this machine. however if you compare this machine to a real mac pro it is only a point or two different. so i think xbench puts to much wieght on hard drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark4181 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 nice build. what motherboard tray is that? i haven't seen any with 2 fanslotsbtw, i didn't know that the bad ax 2 was xeon capable?p.s.- if you part it out, i'll take the case and the mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchase Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 i would like to sell it as is. the motherboard tray is a coolermaster...i dont know what model, i asked for one that was aluminum, and the salesman said they used to make a tray of aluminum but it was discontinued, they said there were two in the warehouse...so i bought them both. i must say it matched the case of the g5 perfectly. as for the motherboard and xeon, well there are two xeons that are supported the x3220 and the x3210. i really like the board, and it has great osx compatibility.

Colonel Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Pictures HERE Ebay Item here: LOL! eBay. Its only a matter of time until eBay removes that for "legal reasons". EDIT: Just realized that you're selling it without OSx86 installed. Smart move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermegatron Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 would you trade it for a first gen macbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I dunno...seems like not a great deal for a used computer. I found almost the exact same parts online (mainly Newegg) and the total cost came to $985.93 without tax. The only way you can justify the extra $500 or so dollars is with the tax and G5 case mod. If you include that, it comes to pretty much the same price, $1450 but don't forget. The product that kchase is selling is USED. You can get the same thing new for the same price (some G5 case modding required though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Adams Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Looks nice, wish I had the money I would buy this right now. good luck selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 That's sick. I think it'll sell, best of luck... Who wouldn't want that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 If I had an extra $400 or so I'd get it, just for the sweet case. If no one is willing to buy it, maybe you should just sell the G5 case mod and then the components seperate on eBay or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I don't know why you people revived this old thread. Anyway, Starting bid: US $1,500.00? My hackintosh has much better specs overall (but no g5 case), and I could call myself lucky if I could get €1000 for it (but it is not for sale). I have also another hackintosh, Bad Axe 1 and C2D E6600 which I am not managing to sell for €500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
