@Slice i see. Thanks for clarifying.

 

So here is one of my hacks. It's a Xeon E3 1271 V3 running Monterey, Win11 and XP via Opencore. It's a clean build in a G5 case with a modified Seasonic PSU in the shell of the original PSU. It has USB3 on the front in the original power switch assembly. It's a "no Bondo build". Means everything was machined to fit and not glued in like in many other builds

This is the insides of my Mac G4 MDD FW 800 running Tiger, Leopard and OS9.

 

Usually the FW800 machines won't run OS9. This and the modifications make it a Hack, although not running on i386.

 

The G4 MDDs are also known als "wind tunnel" because of their loud operating fans. This build is inaudible, running cool at 58°C at 30dB under full load. Again with modern PSU, SSDs, Zalman CNPS heatsink and other shenanigans.

 

I started modifying it in 2005 and continued working on it until the current day. It's main purpose is driving SCSI drum scanners for digitizing film photographs. Sometimes i'm enjoying it listening Flac files on the RME Digi 96/8 soundcard. A high end sound card from the late 90ies with Xilinx Spartan chip. This card has an exceptionally good dedicated headphone amplifier, which easily drives AKG K701, my headphone of choice since 2010. I'm preferring open headphones, hence the silent built.

I don't know if it is within @Slice scope to grant that request.

See here for better understanding. As new users, we all had to go through the process before getting the ability to post/comment in all Forums.

Thanks for clarifying. I understand. I would appreciate if there was something about that in the forum rules though. Or maybe a popup right in my face telling me what's going on like: "3/5 USEFUL comments left until full member".

Without info, for newbies like me, it may feel like being left behind for unknown reasons.

As far as I understand you have to create 2 more useful posts until you became Member.

Try to help somebody in this section.

[oxox]

I can't. Researched for people in need on the last 5 pages and @miliuco is snatching them away every time 😂

 

I mean i am good at repairing rockets and toasters. If i can offer my help on any plans of taking over the eastern hemisphere or on black toasts... Here i am!

@Slice / moderators

 

If @oxox has posted 10 times already, he has to be able to post in any forum, right?

[Slice]

I think yes

Welcome to the G5 club!. I'm putting together a B450M DS3H WIFI, Ryzen 5 4600G, RX 560 G5 build. I prefer the naked look though I still have the CPU heat shield.
