I'm not a mac guy but they do have the sweetest cases!
I've got essentially that config here, dual clover at 3200 but it isn't in as sexy a case.

rather take your dual clover with your g70 and save some money

I think apple is OK, i love the way apple stuff looks, but i just hate the fact that pretty much nothing about them can be tweaked or modified and it just costs to dammn much
There's some dude here at XS who put his pc hardware in one of those sexy mac pro casesthe best of both worlds I'd say
I remember that. The guy went through hell to make it work.I think apple is OK, i love the way apple stuff looks, but i just hate the fact that pretty much nothing about them can be tweaked or modified and it just costs to dammn much

I wonder what MB Apple is using in that dual clover build and if they will sell the case separately.

Most definitely Foxconn based board. And that case can sorta be bought separately....
You can read my mind.
I'm wondering if you could slap a supermicro X7xxx board in there.

It's a complicated process to get a new case....basically, you need to already own one and have a friend in the Mac repair business who can order a new one for you with your serial #.
crap..
Not that I need another case..I've just always liked that design from apple.

Ditto....if it's any solace though, getting one of your (E)ATX boards in there and fitting 'just right' wouldn't happen very easily.
True, but I was thinking one of these, a 10x12" board and technically ATX versus the 12X13 EATX boards:

I think any ATX-based board won't work because of the differences in mounting hold position
That's why it'd be a fun project though
I would have guessed that with apples move to Intel based boards they would be forced to use ATX or EATX mounts..I think any ATX-based board won't work because of the differences in mounting hold position

Think on it a bit, would they get prioritized boards built when they could use "off the shelf" boards?

Nah, getting a custom board made is very, very easy for a company of Apple's size. Nearly every laptop has a different shaped board afterall. Allows them to put the CPUs (and therefore the cooling), the peripheral connections and the RAM wherever they like. The Mac Pro before this one was def not ATX and I'd be surprised if this were anything other than a new PSU and a set of HSFs.
Do these things boot Linux and FreeBSD?
Of course
Xeon Clovertown is basically server cpu based on the same core 2
They should run Windows too
...
Thanks, Kiwi, sounds good.
Now where's that photo of my married boss with that other chick...
who says you cant mod and OC them?
use the mod Kunaak intro;d to us. painting 2 points on the cpu to enable 1333 etc etc.

Listen for a second: These are socket 771 xeons not socket 775 Kentsfields.
DIFFERENT MOD!!!!! Trust me on this..With the clovertowns all you need do with a 1066FSB cpu is put a small piece of electrical tape over the G30 pad and you boot with a 1333FSB..
That is it and don't confuse the xeons with what Kunaak is doing or you will hate yourself bigtime.

These are already 333MHz FSB Clovertons....no mods needed (or possible)
Absolutely correct..I'm just talking about the 266(1066) models.
I was afraid that someone would read what ooeric wrote and use the mod that Kunaak is doing on the Kentsfields and try it on a pair of 1066 Clovers and watch things go poof.

No problem at all. I'm not perfect and I don't expect anyone else to be.

I'm left wondering how Apple can announce a 3.0GHz Clovertown system, when the CPU still hasn't been officially announced by Intel.
