I remembering feeling slightly disappointed because of the infamy of the G5 Powermacs and that if it is, indeed, garbage and non-working, I wouldn't be able to part the parts for my own working Mac Pro 5,1 at home. a GPU, there were even RAM sticks, and then a giant embossed sign reading, “G5” behind an acrylic shroud. A sticker on the top handle read, "Ok." Is it "Ok?" I quickly checked its guts, which is easily done by flipping up the latch on the rear.
There was no mistaking at what I was looking at-a bonafide mac tower discarded like any old PC. I approached the object casually as to not bring any attention to what I was going to do.
The mod is complete! I've installed my computer in the G5 case together with a l240 ekwb water cooling kit.I found a silver tower computer shimmering in the sunlight at my local recycling center. Then I traced the hole on the panel and used a dremel to cut it out. The paint has dried so time to reassemble!ĭidn't do a lot today, I measured the fan and dimensions of my PSU and test fitted it. Now I’m waiting for the paint to harden so I can reassemble the case. Had to start over 2 times but third time was a charm. I’m quite pleased with the result especially since I’ve never painting anything in my life before.
With the weather finally improving I got the chance do some painting. By applying some paint on the stack stand-off’s and placing the tray in I got an idea where to drill the holes.Īfter drilling the holes I could simply fasten the tray in the case with M3.5 screws. With a more powerful tool like a dremel the process would have been significantly easier, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯įinally got some free time to mount the motherboard tray in the case. It’s a bit beaten up so I’ll be painting it.Īs for the motherboard tray I'll be using this oneĪfter I got the tray it was time to cut out the back of the case. So I wanted to try my hand at a G5 case mod for a while so I finally got myself one: (Note: I've been working on & off on this mod since april last year so I've already got a lot of updates which i copied from my other blog, hope you won't mind )
