freqazoidiac Registered: 07/30/07 Posts: 1	Hi everyone. Great forum> Can a Quicksilver motherboard work in a Sawtooth case? I don't mind any mods, has anyone done this? I have access to a nice quicksilver innards (mobo and processor) and am willing to do surgury on my Sawtooth Version 1. (which i can't even run a dual g4 450 on it) I'm SURE this can be done!!! ----- _________________________ •L iving •S till •D reaming

War is right about the PSU, its proprietary, though google around and check xlr8yourmac.com to see if anyone has used an standard ATX power supply with it, you would loose the Apple Display Connector but thats no big deal if you don't own an older Apple LCD. May be cheaper way to go. _________________________ PB G4 15" 1.2ghz - Pismo G3 400 mhz - iBook G3 500 "Jukebox" "SawSmurf" G4 500 - Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz modding...
