grantcooper2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 not sure where I should post this so feel free to move but I just had a question: I was hoping to get some info on transferring my Hackintosh Mac Pro into a Mac Pro case. I am currently running this exact build and it is running flawlessly: Genuine Apple OsX 10.6.4 & Windows 7 Home 64bit OEM DVD and License for Dual Boot System - Intel i7-980X 3.33GHz 6Core CPU (19.98GHz total power) 1366MHz Bus - Gigabyte Motherboard GA-X58A-UD7 Revision 2 Bios FA - Corsair Hydro H70 Liquid Cooling System allowing 4.0 to 4.4GHz per processor (26.4GHz) Over Clocked - 12GB High Speed tripple channel DDR3 RAM running at 2000MHz (3 x 4GB) - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 Fermi 1280MB 320bit GDDR5 Memory 448 Core – DVI x 2 & 1 mini HDMI - 1 x 600GB Western Digital VelciRaptor 10,000RPM SATA6 with OsX and apps installed - 4 x 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT SATA6 7,200RPM 64MB Cache Hard Drive - 2 of which are in a RAID array – 1 for Win7 Dual Boot - Samsung SATA CD/DVD Burner with Light scribe - LG Blu-ray reader/burner with Light scribe - AeroCool Touch 2000 Controller Panel - CoolerMaster Case 692 II Advanced / OCZ Power Supply 700W / AirPort WiFi / 2 x Gigabit Ethernet / 10 x USB / 6 x eSATA / 10 x SATA / 1 x FireWire 400 / 3 x PCIx16 2.o / 1 x PCIx1 / 1 x PCI / 6 x DDR3 Slots / 6 x 3.5″ Internal Bays / 4 x 5.25″ Media Bays / Power over USB & FireWire SIIG Add-On card for 2 x FW800 & 1 x FW400 -Complete fan replacement using low noise, high rpm, blue LED case fans So my question is, how would I go about transferring this setup into a Mac Pro case, ie. what parts would I need to order. I would imagine the mac branded power supply/fans/optical drives/and corresponding internal cases would be required. Is this doable?

Lordadmiral Drake Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It's doable, but requires quite some effort. The original Mac mainboard doesn't follow the ATX standard, neither from the mounting points nor from the backside connectors. The Power supply is also non standard (Half as high and double as long). The HDDs are afaik directly connected to the Mainboard in a MacPro. Directly as: HDD-Mainboard. No cable in between It's doable, but requires quite some effort.

PookyMacMan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You could just put Apple stickers on your case, and maybe paint it silver. I put the Apple stickers from my SL DVD on my Dell.
