tranti1 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 DISCLAIMER: I DO OWN A LEGIT COPY OF MAC OS X AND THOSE WHO SAY THIS IS ILLEGAL IT IS NOT, ALL THE HARDWARE IS RETAIL FROM ORIGINAL. This forum is posted in another category too. Hi, I am thinking of making a Mac Pro for a summer project this year (Yes a Real Mac Pro not PC), but I have to check if everything is compatible with the parts and such. If so let me know what y'all think about this idea, I'm trying to build this mac with low budget maybe not that low but maybe a couple hundreds off the retail price. Here are some links for the parts if y'all agree. I DON'T CARE IF IT COSTS THE SAME ITS A SUMMER PROJECT... *Note the reason I posted this forum is to ask if the Logic board (motherboard) would fit the mac enclosure (case). These are apple retail parts. Mac Pro Enclosure: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Case-for-...EW-p-35381.html [THIS INCLUDES ALL CASE PARTS AND WIRES INSIDE MAYBE NO POWERSUPPLY] Logic Board: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Logic-Board,-Ma...8x-p-35359.html [APPLE RETAIL BOARD] Processors: If any of yall are kind enough to find me a cheap mac processor that is compatible with this mother board thanks . Power Supply: http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5316/....p;category=6223 Memory Riser: One of these please tell me which one correct 1. http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.4700/.f 2. http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5284/.f ThirdParty And Spares. Graphics Card: http://nvidia.com Hard Drive: sata Optic Drive: 16x superdrive Ram: Some thirdparty place And thats about it. If I'm leaving something out please tell. Any suggestions? If this is correct or not thanks alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraPhantm Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 If you don't care about clock speeds, these Xeon X5405s should do the trick (I'm assuming the MacPro Ver2 board is compatible w/ Harpertowns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
