Well, in the meantime I setup the new G5-tosh with Windows, because the machine is to be used productively, but also for games. Therefore you need windows in some way. I decided to install Windows 10, because I have a real Win7 license, which could be used with Windows 10 Pro and I have a 4k […]
So, yesterday was the day. I build in the new hardware into the G5 and do the cable management. All fits well – so far – not as I mentioned, but it fits 😀 After I finished the hardware configuration, I do a testrun if all components are recognized by the machine and all […]
After a while, I´ve completed the cuttings on the G5 housing. I cut the top shelf as well. Now I can start build it up again and start screwing the stuff. Also, I build some „HDD Cage“ from the old, dismounted cage and painted it silver to. I fixed the HDD in the case, with […]
So back from vacation and in the meantime I´ve sold the 16GB of DDR3 RAM over ebay and an old HD5770. This is a tiny step to refinance the new machine. I have found a new SM951 (AHCI Version!) m.2 SSD on an israeli online dealer and a Broadcom BCM943602cs 802.11ac Wifi + […]
So folks, after I bought the new stuff for the hackintosh, I started the surgery ´bout my G5 case… „Keep calm, patient is dead“. After I dismantled the old mainboard I removed all old hardware inside the PowerMac. After that, I removed the top shelf (what a pain in the ass! Give the engineer […]
So, today the shipping from „The Laser Hive“ has arrived. Now – as the target is so close – I decided to sell my old Xeon and DDR3 RAM and buy a new heart for my G5. The G5-Project isn´t dead (it just smelled like it was)! Now you can buy my stuff on […]
So, today was a bad Hackintosh-Day. I wanted to install a fresh Sierra installation on my new Samsung 850 Evo SSD and during this process my motherboard died. I wanted to reset the bios and this action was too much for the old Z77a-G45. So… now I have a problem, because I actually don´t […]
Good news today from David of „The Laser Hives“: My G5 full ATX conversion kit is on delivery! At the moment the parcel is at the Heathrow Airport 😀 Always have a look at the gallery, for the current progression of the project!
So, I bought some stuff for my coming case mod. In addition to the G5 (which arrived yesterday), I need some other stuff… so I went on an online shopping tour 🙂 That´s whats already in my hands: Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500GB (ebay-kleinanzeigen -> 100 Euro best bang for the buck Inateck KT4006 […]
So, now it goes on. I built the WordPress basis for my Work(b)log about building a Hackintosh into a Apple PowerMac G5 Case. Most parts I need for the build are arrived and are waiting for the action to start. You can always visit the gallery to see the actual progression of the project. […]
