This is a shot of the top at the front with the combo drive mounted so it pushes through the original apple slot. I made small mounts for the 120mm coolermaster silent fan and the hard drive, mounting it 3/4" off the floor of the case for air travel all around it. This is the area at the front on the bottom of the case. I'm not as worried about it as i was in my kingwin case with a window and mirrored plexi so i'll probably leave it for a while like this. There are lots of wires everywhere which i intend to clean up somewhat. So skipping pictures of a lot of intermediate type things this is the final picture inside. the shelf has a 120mm hole for the fan in my power supply as well. Again for the shelf i used an aluminum sheet and bent it on the brake, attaching it with existing screw holes on the case, after i ripped out the old standoffs of course. This next picture is after I cut the hole in the back for the power supply and i constructed a shelf for the combo drive and power supply. So here is the newly constructed back of the case before i cut the hole for the power supply. I had done this many times the summer before so it was a very easy fix to my problem. I had some sheets of aluminum i purchased and he said why not just use his brake that he uses to bend and cut aluminum coil while installing windows. My stepdad, who just happens to be a professional window installer, was cruising through the garage at this point and looking over my case. I was stuck for a while on how to build the back of the case in to accomodate the mobo tray i planned to use.
I know most people here like to see some carnage.this is only minimal and maybe more serious to mac fans everywhere.the massacre is almost over at this point.
So here's a picture of the back completely cut out. Here is when i started to cut out the back of the G5 to accomodate my old motherboard tray from a Kingwin case I modded a while ago.Īs i continued my process and deciding where i wanted things to go inside the case i quickly discovered i would need to cut out the whole back and put my motherboard tray at the bottom while leaving room for my power supply at the top. After this post, if you have any questions just feel free to ask. I have done two other mods where i used a lot of plexiglass and mirrored plexiglass so i wanted to stray away from that and just work with aluminum on this case. All i wanted to do with this mod was put my Athlon64 machine inside and make it look as plain G5 as possible with the exception of the back of the case. I got my case on ebay for about $100 back in march and couldn't wait to get home from school to cut into it. I finally got some time from school and my internship and my wedding to get started and complete my G5 case mod over the past few weeks.
