nemster Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 would it actually be possible to build a machine from a mac pro mainboard and just buy all other components separately?

rhalls Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I bet it wont be much cheaper than a real mac pro if it should be as fast. My Q6600 Machine is about 10% slower then a Mac Pro 2.66 GHz with very much lower cost. So i wont bother about how to get exactly a mac pro. Simpliest way to get a 100% Mac Pro is to buy one.

3phemeral Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 actually im only searching for a system which sleeps AND can do dvi dualscreen... Some people seem tro have the gigabyte P35 DP4 Board working with sleep. Some dont.I own a GA-P35-DS4 and sleep was working yesterday [on 10.4.10/8.10.1], it stopped working today, for some reason... Think it's some bios config/some program which somehow screwed it up. But i don't have time to fix it right now So with my 7600GT [RMA'd it] i used to have a comp. which satisfied your requirements: DVI dualscreen and sleep [check sig for further info]. Cheaper than a Mac Pro: Definitely!
