  1. poe is power over ethernet, and you can get hdmi to Ethernet , but at the other end youd have to have a box converting from ethernet to hdmi again, and the poe into the projector, assuming that you can even find technologies that can work to gethe to alllow that
  2. id have guessed its a fibre channel drive based off its name so probably not, you could get a fibre channel rack and put them it tho
  3. Starting a new build log / project here I picked up an old (yet functional) power mac G5 Its a tad beat up externally but sound inside boots to the point of chime but no further - i suspect bad os / hdd as everything else works The specs at the moment are: CPU : PowerPC 970fx (G5) x2 RAM : 2 GB (2 x 1GB sticks) PC3200 DDR HDD : 160 GB original apple HDD, (and a bent sata data pin 250 gb HDD) GPU : nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra - 64MB vram It also came with a tc powercore audio card - a type of sound effect card as far as i know - if you know more about it let me know! Here is the page with what i can find as the stock hardware https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_2.0_dp_2.html A view of the internals without the side perspex or panel, somewhat dusty but not terrible as far as power macs go these days The top green card is the tc powercore sound card, with the nvidia gpu underneath Current Goals -Clean up current parts and case in place -Get os installed and setup -Upgrade ram with spare -GPU upgrade -Migrate system to ssd boot and large hdd -Case Swap to stripped, painted and re assembled mint chassis -Case lighting/mods? I've got an older g5 with a non working psu, so have some spares to experiment on. I've got more ram to put in already, but not known if working, aiming to reach 8GB, the max it can fit What would be peoples suggestions to do moving forward with the system? Ive looked at getting a higher end gpu for the agp slot but finding mac specific ones is hard If people have copies of the lion 10.5 osx that would be very much appreciated due to not having an os yet... either that or gonna try getting a from of Linux , probably a fork of Ubuntu or Debian onto the system
  4. 2*16, less stress on MMU so easier to get bigger and more stable OCs should you want them
  5. Ive used superlux headphone in the past with built-in audio with no issues, maybe something like these superlux hd668b would be good... i has some earlier ones and sounded okay, but i definitely preferred having a dac/ amp on them, but that true for most headphones improving with dac/amp
  6. try mining other alt coins or ideally become a trader not a miner would be my advice
  7. id say to take out the 2gb dimms of ram, so you only have the pair of 4gb dimms in the system
  8. id suggest starting by trying with only paired ram, in case thats the issues, you've got different, brand and capacity dimms listed, so it might be hitting flaws there.... let me know how that goes
  9. with some more info on the system it might be easier to help, what cpu do you have rather than just xeon, how much ram, what platform, what system spec, what graphic settings in game ect.... its hard to say what to do when there isnt enough info to go of
  10. I installed it due to its improved feature set, but having said that I haven't had a moment of downtime bar when I was stupid and made mistakes with setups !
