I cut the back out and removed the top fan bracket to allow the PSU to fit. A must for the PSU ATX cable is too short to reach the mobo, it also allows for the front power switch to be wired up. There is a Hiper 620watt PSU and a ATX to ATX extension cable. I followed suit as Aqua-Mac had alot of success with this mobo. I attached some edging to hide the sharp edges.ДЄs i mentioned i picked a M-ATX mobo the DS2R is a popular choice for the MacPro case. The bottome right is marker pen, not a slip up. looking back i wish i had done this differently but i just wanted to get it built. I marked out around the rear IO and had a quick test with the dremal.

I started off with a M-ATX motherboard as you will see i later fitted a full sized ATX. I thought I'd do i quick photo guide from start to finish. I've been silly busy then stupidly poor and time ran away from me. Okay then people, Sorry I've not yet uploaded any type of guide. Speaking of which, what are the maximum dimensions for a motherboard that fits in the Mac Pro case without modifying the enclosure at all? It sure would be nice to keep it stock. I don't want any board that has legacy useless ports on it like parallel printer ports. Originally I wanted to use an Asus P5K3 Deluxe WiFi motherboard for my hackintosh however, it looks like all of the Mac Pro modders have stuck to micro ATX motherboards to keep it looking as stock as possible. I have not sunk my teeth into a hackintosh YET, but if I do I want to give it a real go at a really nice looking Mac Pro mod.Д¬urrently I am trying to do some research to decide which motherboard is the best for a Mac Pro modded hackintosh. MacBookJoe, I can't wait for that guide that you are going to put up. Now why is it that all of the best Mac Pro mods are from the UK? Is there some sort of conspiracy here? -) By the time you Mac Pro modders are done with this nobody is going to be able to tell that you have a hackintosh in Mac clothing.
