- Music production - Logic pro 8
- Web development - DW, FL, PS

No worries, i managed to do it myself!
mod note: Congratulations! Please don't hesitate to post your solution.
It decided to use iPC 10.5.6 and i used the following settings.
Kernel - 9.5.0 Voodoo
Video - Ndarwin 1024
Sound - ALC888
Chipset - VIA/SiS/Marvell/SB Chipset Drivers
Ethernet - Realtek R1000
USB - patched USB drivers
Power - Voodoo power
Fixes - SATA drive icon fix, Dual boot time sync, Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5, Shutdown/Restart fix
PS/2 Device - Mouse and Keyboard
SMBIOS - Applesmbios-27 rev3 800mhz
Applications - Installed all of them
Everything works perfectly using these settings, sound, video, ethernet...no problems at all.
Hope this helps someone else too.
