That looks so wrong inside that case! Mac Pros are so tidy inside.
How much did you spend on it?

I could put the cover on the side but it just makes me laugh too much.
The Apple cable management thing/cables annoyed me so I ripped/cut them out with scissors.The whole thing cost less than £400 which is pretty good for effectively two computers inside the one box. Could have three if I wanted to add a linux distro as well.

Yep,
running OS X on PC architecture. (easy since Apple decided to move to Intel chipsets)
Biggest plus point though has to be the cost. Equal spec (or better) to a G5 but at a third of the cost. -

lightbulb I see.
The guys at work that are all buying new MacBook Pros might be pissed when I piece one of these together for a fifth of the price :D
How stable is it and are you using the EFI emulation method to run a 'normal' MacOS or is it one of the hacked ones?

Perfectly stable, using the boot patch.
Needed a new computer so I decided to build myself a Hackintosh for Christmas.
Not needing to buy Apple Hardware saved me mad £€$
Can also boot to Windows for Piracy and Gaming.
God Bless x86 architecture.
Thanks to Build for helping me out.
