Why you'd want to do this is beyond me. Parts are expensive, it's not worth the work of having to fix all of these off the shelf parts to work with the Mac parts, and it just isn't worth it in the end.

If you want a Mac, your best bet is to buy one.

well i like the O.P. system and how it runs and such. also i have bought one
mac G5 2.5ghz
4gigs of RAM
7800gt 256MB RAM
160HD
250HD
GREAT FILM EDITING SYSTEM

i want to because i like to make computers with side windows and lights and all that cool stuff

cant i just make a regulare system formate a HD with OSX? (i know you cant but is the a "special" way to get around that?

or should i not ask that?

There's OSx86, but technically, it's illegal. If you have a problem with illegal stuff like that, then you probably shouldn't do it.

Otherwise, Google it and you'll find out a lot about it.

i dont think your ricer computers will be able to run mac os ... just buy a mac mini.

im not quite shore what your saying, as "ricer"

but i would rather make my own, i take much pride in makeing my own computdrs (even if here carp witch they have been till the one im making in like 2 days)

but i think im going to kill this project any way, not really worth it, i could just buy a G4 from ebay and stick all he parts in a GIANT case and put in Cool lights etc.
