How to fit PC in a G5 PowerMac enclosure :> Options

[nervouschimp]

ok Im closer to solving the LED problem the Pwr and LED share the same led im I able to split the ground to make it work on both.

dude, I want to help you, but your posts are just too vague, and make no sense to me... with both your previous post and this one, I am thinking WTF?

amantheboy, if you check the diagram from the front panel, you will see that the led is connect to one wire not two. As shown here : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry265135

Sorry I was in a hurry I am saying I found out that the Pwr and the LED share the same ground so i was wondering if i could split the ground into to pins

Can you please post pics of the back of the case??

Ok, here it is (but keep in mind that I'm not ok with that and I'll have some work to do yet):










I had to do some workarounds just to satisfy my ego and say myself that I acomplish to mount the case, but I'm buying this tray from a Silverstone TJ07 case to use in the project (will be here in about 60 days or so):

I would hardly say that! There are many people working hard on their g5s, just because we haven't posted yet does not mean nothing is happening!!! Patience my friend

Smoothy knows what he is talking about, since he bought Macpro instead of modding case he had, haha

yeah, this thread aint dead... I still see people posting photos..... don't any updates from me for a while, I've got lot's of real-world stuff going on right now.

I am toying with the idea of installing a mac mini in the superdrive bay. It would be on an adhock connection with my mainboard, and it would function as my lil helper for torrents, dvd rips, encoding, etc. I would modify the superdrive hatch to be slot-loading, and I would run a DVI jumper to the rear of the G5, and would use leo screen sharing as well as an internal kvm to control it.

sweet sorry about my last post really bored, does anyone know any sli motherboards that are compatible with vanilla and EFI, not gonna use sliin osx though only in windows thanks

[CZ*DarkLight]

Smoothy: Sweet. You did not say a word about modding for a quite long time, so I thought that your MacPro-buy was the last piece of your modding puzzle Nice then, I am starting to be curious.

I was asked to post a final pic of my ports from the inside:

I am in the middle slapping a coat of gray testers model paint on there, but it's pretty much done.

Newchurch, looking good, but.... no rear exhaust.... no air circulation? still working that out?

[Newchurch]

Hi,

the last picture doesn't show the final status - now there's a 12cm fan on top of the powersupply.
I hope this will be enough "air conditioning"

newchurch, you dont mess around do you! lol got the case yesterday, now theres a pc in it today!!

i managed to get a lian li motherboard tray, so i'm just planning the best way of having it! im gonna be fitting a lot of stuff in this case. ive also managed to get my hands on a large sheet of satin anodized aluminium, which looks just like that of the case itself!

im thinking about doing this too what did you use to make the cuts and also those two attenas are thier but what chip are you gonna use for the wifi and bluetooth

[nervouschimp]

so my front-mounted board, and cabling method would very easily allow for this:



An iMac Pro.

What do you guys think? should I make this happen?
