I have not yet connect the G5 Laing pump. But have found this picture . You can see that the external is black (neutral) and the second beside is yellow thus 12 V . I guess the third has to be RPM and the fourth or 12V or black. I would test first just the two external wires; black and yellow and if nothing happens then the fourth with 12 V and if necessary with black. If someone has already done this, please report it . I will give a try tomorrow. First prepare some wires to connect the pump to a molex plug. |

hey macbookjoe, Is the cable long enough for you ? I still have to try the LCS with a working Hack. And inside the Mac Pro case it will be connected to the rad from a G5 dual 2.7GHz watercooled as per picture :  Will keep you inform.  |

Wanted to thanks aqua for his advices. I had a bluetooth for my keyboard and mouse wireless to use in the living room with my Mirror connected to the TV. But the system could not handle the both; or the mouse or the keyboard but not the two at the same time. I remember then aqua has written that this was the dongle to use and I found one on eBay and it works out of the box.  . Concerning the Apple black plate for sata connections in the Mac Pro. Do not buy this or this  because when they say female connectors, they are talking about the mobo, not the connections for the HDD's. But this is what could do the job :  |

hey macbookjoe, based on this picture  from aquamac, I connected the data sata cables. One is ok the HDD is recognize by my son's PC, the other cable not yet. I will test it with my boot disk on my hack mobo. Just finished to resolder the PSU wires inside the case, I have glued the plug . Busy to attach the Mobo onto the tray. ;D |

This is the pic I am talking about : You can see that aqua marks the red and yellow cable on the sata Apple sata power cable. They are ordered as yellow-12V, black-ground, red-5V, black-ground, . If you take a colored sata power cable, the yellow will be on the 90° side of the plug and then black, red, black. If you use a cable converter sata power plug to molex plug, you will see that the yellow cable is straight connected and the others are crossed because on the side of the molex, there are yellow, black, black, red. I had to tape the cables to make some pictures. I cannot upload from the job, I will tomorrow morning back home. |

The Apple sata power is organised like a cable converter sata power plug to molex plug. The labelled wire is the yellow-12V  |

bb,
That should work fine. How much ram does it have. There were a few different amounts available - looks to be 512 mb from the description. GFX strings are probably worth a go.
