I decided to go with this tray, from mountain mods in the 2x80mm configuration. Once I got to this point, I decided to order an aluminum ATX motherboard tray to use, basically replacing the Mac Pro's rear panel. This required removing the cabling, covers/panels, and the "divider shelf" between the top and bottom of the case. To start off modding, I stripped the case down to just the enclosure.

Hopefully the mod will be unique and turn out well. It looks like almost all other Mac Pro mods I've seen have been conversions to MATX or are ATX, but don't allow multiple video cards. Since I have a P6T Deluxe V2 and am running SLI, I will be converting the case to ATX, with all 7 slots available for use. I plan to transfer the parts I currently have into the Mac Pro case when done with the mod.

I got a Mac Pro case for free that was "damaged" (power button came loose, easy fix) and have decided to make it into an ATX pc case, since I think it's a cool looking case. Other than reset the motherboard SMC and playing around with Risers and DIMMs and running AHT, even try running 10.5.x off your OEM DVD on a freshly iniitialized drive - just to see and test it works with the original OS! worth a try to have clean bare hardware and OS.Hello all fellow modders and enthusiasts. You or someone else with power strip, my suggestion is avoid those things and get a solid 1500VA UPS w/ Sinewave, if nothing else but I thiink they improve and prevent by providing the PSU with good clean power all these 4 yrs you've had yours or the 6 yrs I've had mine. (One reason to hold off for first 3-4 months for revisions based on early reports to be fielded).
There were SMC and EFI updates, later models had that rolled in and improved motherboard. They had trouble early on (first two months) with freeze on wake from sleep for one thing. No idea what or how but seems strange, been seeing near identical like your post cropping up every weekk from 2008 owners. If it's the mother board (but no the processors) any idea the magnitude of the cost of replacing the MB? One other thing that may be a clue, it has recently occasionally powered itself up spontaneously when turning on the power strip that supplies it.ĭon't suspect the Genius bar has anything to add beyond putting in the shop. I see no dust in any of the visible areas. In the process I re-seated all the memory - no effect. Let it "cool" for an hours no difference. When it happened was doing normal things - monitoring temps in the recent past has shown everything to be fine Then the 2 LEDs come on and the fan starts and the 4 LEDs on each memory tray (DIMM1,2,3,4) flash continuously and nothing happens. If you remove the plug which turns them off, then re-insert they stay off until you power up. They stay on when power is off, only go out when power plug removed. Specifically OT1 and OT2 - pretty obviously Over Temp Indicators. Open it up and find 2 of the 9 red LEDs on the motherboard under lower memory tray are lit up.
