Well, all the Apple puns have taken since this is a pretty common mod, however I'm going to post my worklog anyway even though it's been done before. Modding G5 case to fit an ATX PC. I don't want this to look like an Apple, Apple logos must die a painful death. Will either paint, powder coat or do some sort of brushed look to case. Add a window too, that is the plan. Mod may take some time but I am not in a rush to finish as my current PC is quite happy in its Antec 900.
That case is a little ugly although very functional.
Here is what I've done so far
Unrivet and mod an el cheapo raidmax ($30)case for motherboard and back panel
Steel, wears down the dremel wheel!
Test fit of old mobo and tray in G5
Begininning custom back plate
Start Sleeving PSU
Cut hole in top shelf for PSU
... But not enough. Kind of screwed that up by using a hole saw at the start to make the cutting easier, but hole saw broke (A tooth came out of alingment). Now the whole thing looks wonky. Will have to redo
More to come
