Key Features:
Intel CPU
System Specs:
  • CPU- 3.2GHz Intel Pentium D LGA 775
  • GPU- Stock on-board Intel chipset
  • RAM- 1GB DDR2 (2 512MB sticks in 2 slots)
  • Cooling- Generic LGA 775 heatsink
  • PSU- 300 or 350W Delta power supply
  • HDD- 200GB Samsung Spinpoint SATA
  • CD- CD/RW
  • Motherboard- Intel D945GTP desktop motherboard
Performed Mods:
PSU modifications (extended wires, heatsink trimming), Case mods (put into a genuine macintosh powermac 7200 case, case slightly modified to fit motherboard+PSU), and I replaced the Windows startup tone wth one from the real mac.
So I had a day off from school and decided to finish one of my projects I started a while ago after reading a similar post on Instructables. (www.instructables.com) It was a PC in a Mac Classic case, running Mac OSX, mine runs Windows XP. Here is a video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P2XESRDsgY and hey, I'm only 14 years old.

I voted 8/10 because this is a CASE MODIFICATION GALLERY. I don't care how much gee whiz i dropped a bundle on hardware cases you have, that's not the point of this gallery. innovation, modification, and customization. I would've gone 10 for 10 to counteract the 1s, but I shouldn't have to, and because while it's good, its not outstanding in my opinion.

Good job in defiling a Mac with a PC by forcing it in!

Best mod for a powermac is to install BEOS. Still a interesting refit.
