This is a documentation of my project to mod a Powermac G4 into a hackintosh.
Very little effort went into the research of compatibility. I was shopping on a budget and I knew if they didn’t fit I could just get a cheap pc case.
So, $470 dollars later my tigerdirect shopping cart is full of mostly everything I need.

• Thermaltake Pure-Power 430-Watt power supply. – $39.99
• 250GB SATA 3.5″ HDD from Seagate. – $49.99
• 4 Gig of OCZ SLI-Ready PC6400  800MHz DDR2 RAM – $19.99
• Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 wolfdale @2..8GHz and a 1600MHz FSB – $119.99
• LG 22xDVD-R and  16x DL-DVD Burner – $29.99
• Gigabyte EP43-UD3l Motherboard.w/ 1600MHz FSB. – $84.99
• XFX Ultra-Silent GeForce 9400GTw/ 512MB DDR2 RAM – $49.99
• I also got a NetGear WiFi Card and a Wireless Logitech Keyboard/Mouse set- $19.96/$34.99

As of now I have been able to install the new Hard Drive, DVD Burner, and Power Supply into the G4.
