    Looking good!

    Here's a shot of the front panel power pinout from when I did my G5 mod. I just soldered to the middle and far pads, and didn't touch the closer of them (I marked the pads I needed to solder to with a sharpie).:



    Here's my Build log in case you need any more idea's, though I think you pretty well have my mod beat.

    I loved the G5 I modded so much that I am getting another one to mod this Christmas break, possibly with watercooling, and some other goodies.
    Core I7 920 4.2 ghz (21x200) 1.35 volts / Asus P6T / Corsair XMS 1333mhz @ 1600mhz / EVGA GTX 285 SSC (724 core/1634 shaders / 1508 mem) / Modified ThermalTake Armor

    Swiftech Apogee, MCW-60, Swiftech 655, Black Ice GTX 360
