Just be careful when cutting out. Avoid using rotary instruments. BIts of plastic may get inside the housing and may clog movable parts. I used soldering iron to melt down the plastic case.

(Macs don't use it). The wires to the power switch board are only meant for POWER ON/OFF and RESET. The 3rd set of wires for the POWER INDICATOR LAMP is soldered into both legs of the LED bulb. Check the photos, the wires are colored white and orange. Hi Scott

Tosh,

Can you show the other side of the power switch logic board to see where the third set of wires was soldered?

The side you show is power on the botton and reset on the top, right? Where are the HDD wires soldered on the other side? Would you mind showing both sides of the power switch logic board?

I think I can't help you with this one coz I no longer have a test machine. I had sold all my PPC Macs and I'm now using MacPro as my main machine and this Hackintosh as backup. As far as I recall, 9800 XT works on G5 without any taping of the #3 and #11 contact pins since it is already 8X AGP, you don't need to replace the 64k ROM with 128k ROM, just use the reduced ROM. Also use the 128 MB version, don't use the 256 MB version. Use a PC for flashing, its safer than using a Mac. I'll try to check my files if I still have all the flashing files and instructions, if I find it, I can e-mail it to you but I don't carry any responsibilities if you bork your card. Will get you updated later. Thanks for dropping by! Hi Mike, to be honest, since I have already migrated to Intel Macs, I totally abandoned flashing PC cards to wok in PPC Macs.

I am in the middle of my own mod and using the newer version of that same board GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 So it was great to see the same board to get ideas where everything is going to sit. Can you email me some more pics of the interior of the case finished like the power supply from outside etc? Thanks and awesome case!

I've been reading as much as I can to find out exactly how to do this. The card: PC Radeon 9800 XT. I see the bios and ROM version I need on The Mac Elite site, which Mac revisions will work with this card etc. But, I'm not that technically proficient, I just want the card to work in my DP G5 with full power. I don't understand how to remove the 64k chip safely, and then replace it with a 128k chip to accommodate the larger Mac Rom. Do you have any idea how this is done. Please help. I'm not really sure where to begin? Thanks. Hi Kenji, I saw your comments on the pinoymac.org site regarding upgrading a PC Radeon to Mac.
