Hello all.


I plan to order my parts tonight or tomorrow.

This is what I have so far:

Powermac G5 Case

ThermalTake TR2 W0070 430W Power Supply

Pentium D 820

eVGA GeFORCE 6600 256MB Video Card with PCI EXPRESS



I need help choosing a mothboard. Something that wont require much work, and will alow me to overclock a little.


Thanks

You're so lucky to be able to get all of those great parts. Anyways here is a good cheap MoBo for a Pentium D and should fit in your Powermac case.

Well, i sold my mini for $600 so that bumped up my budget

Ah, That motherboard looks awsome for that price. But it only supports DDR, is that bad? Shouldn't i be looking for DDR2?

And also, I don't mind if its not Micro ATX, I'm willing to cut some of the divider up in the Powermac case

Only having DDR is not really that bad. My iMac has only DDR and it works great. DDR2 only makes your RAM a slight bit faster. There's really not much of a difference. For that price, it's worth it.

Just wondering...where did/can you order the powermac case from?

eBay

Ya, you can get it from ebay. The people that sell it are from Allmac.com. You can buy it from there too.

Why would you even think of suggesting that mobo? It doesn't have GMA graphics, it uses a SIS chipset, and there's other compatibility problems. If you use that board, you're going to be disappointed at best. You'd be better off getting a board like the Asus P5LD2-VM that actually has working SATA and the GMA950 if you ever wanted QE or CI.

Sorry. I forgot to check which graphics it used. But, even if you did choose this mobo you could still get an ATI card for graphics.

THERMALTAKE 430 WATT PSU

PQI 1GB DDR2 RAM

ASUS P5LD2 MOTHERBOARD

PENTIUM D 805 DUAL CORE PROCESSOR

SEAGATE 120GB HARD DRIVE [will upgrade later on]

ATI RADEON X1600 PRO GDDR3 VIDEO CARD



Sound good? lol

For the mobo, since its ATX, I'm willing to cut some of the case's divider up so its cool

I'm going to attempt to make it look like this

hey m8. where did u get power mac g5 case.are u in india

Ravi dood that case is awesome, r u in India???. Where did u get it???

I'd really like a case like this as well. Where did you get it?

It's available in Dubai and I know the dealers quite well I'll find out the price and will post back.

There is an American site (someone posted it here) which sells them at $300... I'll try and dig up the link later... It was in the Mod section.
