• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hey guys I have an old G5 mac it is outdated but I love the case of the old Macs. I wanted to know if it is possible to gut the old mother board, buy a new mother board from BandH and be able to still run the Mac OS like Yosemite? Here are the motherboards they have for sale, if this is possible which one would work? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Motherboards/ci/19864/N/3835434462 I was thinking of getting an I5 or I7 Processor from them as well here are there processors http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/CPUs/ci/19865/N/3835434461 I am not a computer builder, I have built a bare bone kit before but everything came recommend in the pack to work and it ran on windows not mac os. I am going to use it for video editing and needed as much ram as possible to start doing 4k and 6k video work.

This would be called building a "Hackintosh" that we don't support discussion about. Thread closed.
