I love your setup!  I'm running a Hackintosh and game on Win 7.  I especially love your G5 case and your monitor!!  You should hopefully get around 100 fps if not higher.  Any plans for a custom water loop?

 

What Mobo tray did you use?  The Hive one from the UK?  I have an old G5 that needs some new hardware and would love a link to the one you used.

Thanks.  :)  Now I've installed my 2nd 780 Ti I'm almost guaranteed 100+ fps. At the moment, I don't plan on adding a custom water loop (nor am I sure I'd have the space to do so) but it might be something I look into doing in the future.

 

I used a motherboard tray from a company called MountainMods. It was a bit of a pain to get it shipped into the UK (because I had to pay import fees - which delayed it arriving and bumped up the cost) but it's a very study tray and has a great finish (as I ordered the Anodize black version). If you're putting one inside the G5, I believe you have to choose the 2x80mm fan exhausts becuase the 120mm is too large - I went with the 2x80mm fans one anyway.

 

Hope that helps.
