Small Project: iMac Pro Reply with quote
Since I won z68 Gigabyte motherboard for 3rd place modding contest from PDXLAN 18 and would like to do something small modding project with this motherboard for my wife and kids. My kids really love apple because they use it often at school. This motherboard is mac friendly, so I decided to use dual boot Mac and Windows 7 on this.

Pix of me in light blue polo shirt with z68 gigabyte mobo on CPU magazine pages 42 and 43.

All parts and being prepared prior to build up

Sapphire 6870 Viper-X

8gb 2x4gb white Corsair Vengeance LP RAM

i7 2400 sandy bridge

inside of Silverstone ft03 case, beautiful finish white!

Paint PSU to white.

Cut off all white pin connect from old Dell psu

Start with sleeving.

2 white 120mm fan, will get the 3rd.

Sleeving fan cable

Done sleeving, it looks good!

Test after sleeving to assure the whole of wiring works, glad it works!

Install all hw in case.







DONE!


My wife and Kids really love it! It can play BF3 very well Cool
