Has anybody put a Mac Case to work for PC internals ?

[leoftw]

I specifically have a G4 Quicksilver case . I need to come up with my own back panel but thats it . Has anyone done this ? FYI: Its not because of "looks" its about function I don't want to wast anymore money than I need to plus they look pretty sturdy :P

I have been considiring doing something similar to my sawtooth G4 case. I want to do it just for looks though.

That G5 Case looks sick !!! Thanks for the link. The only thing I could causing a problem is the Optical Drive, I want to put a DVDRW in there and I think thats just going to be flat out expensive.

if you look through the site, they have planty mods inside quicksilver / G4 cases

All of these G5 PM builds are soo clean! I wish I had that kind of time/patience to do this. I guess I wouldn't be able to house my new cooling system in one either so I guess that rules me out anyway.

This thread has inspired me to get hold of a G5. I've wanted one for a while, but never seriously considered it. I really, really want one. eBay is not being my friend today though, can't find any.

Just so you know it is very difficult to get the front power buttons/leds to work as the use their own input/output board.

Could you not just rip it off another PC?

PCs dont use one, all the leds, switches are soldered to a little circuit board on the G5.

Nothing a DMM and a soldering iron couldn't fix eh? I haven't tried it so I really don't know. But, it can't really be that complicated of a pcb to trace.
