    FS: G5 Case modified for PC mobo

    After almost a year of inactivity, I'm back. And the case is still available if anybody is interested. To answer some questions I got via PM: 1. The mobo tray is ATX, so any standard ATX mobo should work just fine. 2. The side panel is included. The price is the same, but I'll throw in S+H (US...

    FS: G5 Case modified for PC mobo

    Sorry for the delay. The rear IO panel is part of the mobo tray. The tray slides into the hole cut out of the back panel of the case, and the inner edge has a small indent that the tray slides into which holds it in place (kind of hard to explain with words and I'm currently out of town). The...

    FS: G5 Case modified for PC mobo

    Hi all. A while back I got a crazy idea to buy a G5 case and mod it to accommodate a PC motherboard. Here is a link to the last page of the thread that has all of the juicy details (as well as pictures). As I am graduating in a few short weeks and could really use the cash, I have decided to...

    Custom Aluminum Case

    Okay. So it's been a long while, but I thought I would post an update on the case mod. A while back I finally got around to mounting the PSU. I also cut and rewired the power lines for the hard drives and DVD drive. Here are some pics: The power connectors: Let the surgery begin...

    HD Editing Setup

    This http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?id=74 is exactly what I was thinking about using - an external hardware RAID solution that connects via eSATA to my editing machine. How hard would it be to throw together a PCB with this chip?

    HD Editing Setup

    I am looking to buy/build a setup capable of handling uncompressed HD video editing (~200 Mbps). Does anyone have any suggestions (ie NAS vs external RAID)? I was thinking of building a NAS box, but I don't know if I can get the needed bandwidth out of it.

    FS mATX System + Parts

    I recently built 2 systems for some video work that I was doing and am now looking to sell one of them. They are pretty decent systems - great for a small home/office PC or even an inexpensive gaming rig. After I was done with my work I threw CS:S on them, and they got pretty decent FPS on the...

    HSF for Antec NSK1300

    Over the weekend, I grabbed some parts from Fry's and threw together two computers (~$400/ea) for some animation work that I am doing. I decided to go with the Antec NSK1300 case, as it was on sale. However, I ignored the thought to check the clearance on the processor heatsink/fan. I grabbed a...

    Vista Installation Issues

    Hmmm, the NF7-S uses the Si3112 controller. (I thought it was fairly common... but maybe not). My thumb drive is having issues ATM, but a good ol' fashoned CD-R did the trick. Hopefully the installation won't die like it did last time.

    Vista Installation Issues

    During the initial intall, the drivers were loaded from a floppy, hanging half out of the case. =) That was 7 months ago. And 1000 miles away. Vista was actually what started this whole issue, but I was 2 steps ahead of you. I finally got the Vista DVD to boot, but alas even the Vista...

    Vista Installation Issues

    Just when you think you're out of the woods... The XP installer does not recognize my SATA drives (and therefore will not let me do a fixmbr on them) and will only allow you to load drivers via the floppy drive (which I also do not have)...

    Vista Installation Issues

    The BIOS was set for USB keyboard support via the OS. I switched it to be via BIOS and it worked like a charm.

    Vista Installation Issues

    OK, I grabbed an XP SP2 installation disc, but when I try to boot off it, it does the same thing - "Press any key to boot from CD..." No matter how many times I mash my keyboard, it doesn't recognize a single keystroke. I just find this weird, seeing as I can hit [del] a few seconds earlier to...
