hello peeps. a while back i modded a old g4 case and put a pc in it. So i decided to mod a G5. Personally i love the look of the case so i decided to put my main rig in it and ditch my pc75. If you have any questions let me know. here are some finished pics.

Very nicely done....I like it
where did you get that case from?
I mean, those G5's are incredible pieces of hardware I think so who'd be willing to donate his case?
Cool though.
Looks great

Ok, i see one for 100 quid with broken handle, I think ima go with that.
In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.
How's the cooling, ventilation and noise compared to your old case?
It sure looks cool though I wish there was a way to get rid of that Apple logo on the side.
That case looks awesome!
What about cooling efficency? Did you notice any changes in temps since you have this case?
Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
Kingston HyperX 2x2GB DDR1600
Asus A5770 1GB
***CPU & GPU H2O cooled***
now do dual windows with decals to banish those apple logos.

What are you kidding me - he's a hero. He rescued that Case from a life of servitude from some one button'd mouse idiot that does nothing but pet his airport express sobbing "My precious."
Its like having a ferarri with a lawnmower engine and one headlight and p00 p0wer gave it a life it well deserved with some real horsepower under the hood!!
I can still see smoke coming off your dremel in finishedmac0033nh.jpg

A window would ruin the look I think.
And I think the Apple logo's are cool. Having them just makes it funnier. Can you imagine teh look on peoples faces when it shows teh XP logo when booting?
