They could fit between the middle and top shelf, but I haven't figured out how to fix. For my G5 build I was able to use the 2GHz processor heat shield to make it look stock. I can attest to how easy it is to take everything out of the I kept the two 1.8GHz dual processor covers also, how do you plan on using them?. Here are some photos I took before the teardown today:Ĭlick to expand.I agree, having taken apart two of them, a dual 1.8 GHz and a dual 2GHz G5. I recently acquired a working Powermac G5 off my local classifieds for only $60! AND I promise I will either use or give these working parts to someone else so that they can live on! BUT for now I am currently planning on moving my current "Hackintosh" Setup into its new home and wanted to take you guys on the journey with me and also help anyone else who might be planning on doing this themselves!
#POWER MAC G5 CASE MOD MOD#
Would love to hear your guys suggestions and ideas throughout the build!īeen a follower of the community for sometime now and always wanted to try this mod out for myself. I will post my current ATX Setup Specs tomorrow that will be going into the case, for you guys to reference! I promise I will not make these posts going further too lengthy with words, but show you guys more images since we all love photos more.
Gonna keep the current hard drive bay holder and also possibly use the G5 CPU Covers as custom SSD covers? Still deciding on this one I do plan on doing a custom Water Loop later down the road, but I want to upgrade the components first, before I attempt this step! Once I get the ATX panel in and motherboard I am then going to use 2 AIO Water Coolers for the CPU & GPU, to try and make it silent as possible, but also the ability to do a stable overclock with my current setup. I might swap out the USB 2.0 port for a 3.0 or higher.Let me know what you guys think!? I am up for ideas. I always love the front IO on this computer, so I ordered a custom ATX Adapter Cable from BlackCH mods to retain that "stock" look and functionality. I think later down the road, if I plan on updating this rig I will then epoxy it in to make it flush, but for now I will most likely just use rivets for convenience and time. I am converting it to hold my current ATX setup, so the back will getting cut out to hold the new custom backplate from The Laser Hive. So far I want to keep it fairly stock looking on the outside for this "first version" of the build. G5 Full ATX conversion kit with integrated PSU mount Deluxe Tray (The Laser Hive).
#POWER MAC G5 CASE MOD UPDATE#
Still waiting on parts unfortunately, so I cannot show anymore yet, but once parts start arriving I will update here. Such a beautiful machine for its time! It has some dings and scratches I know lol, but should still look great once I am done the build. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
