maddoxnero Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Sorry if I'm not in the right thread. I've built my hackintosh but, it doesn't look like one. I would like to get a case that resembles a mac case. Either G4 or G5 I like them both. I wish the G5 had the mobo drop down side panel thing,that was awesome. Anyway links to website or sumthing would be greatly appreciated. I bought a PowerMac Quicksilver (mirror doors) case it is too far beyond my abilities to mod it for a pc. I am going to sell it for $50.00 on ebay but I haven't yet. It is great shape I never used it and it has only one small scratch on the back that u can't even see. If you are interested let me know. the shipping would be free and I have a paypal. Edited March 6, 2007 by maddoxnero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiendskull9 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i remember seeing one on newegg that was a G4ish case replica but the reviews were bad, it was supposedly flimsy, and had too many sharp edges you'd be better off modding a standard alumnium case yourself! -clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan015 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i had a G3 one, i think it was too small for the ATX mobos, the psu got in the way and there was barely any area to work with. oh and you had to do some modding as u have to bolt the mobo on a certain way (didn't bother, trashed the case it was fun, had a few spare cherry bombs but anyways...) yeah. here a few that look similar to mac cases http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811128027 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811128030 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811164060 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811128029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detosx Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think you want to be going for something that looks better than. That of course is difficult. What looks better than a Mac? The Asus case at least has simplicity on its side, which is what the whole Mac experience is all about. I went for a black Coolermaster case which I will link to in a moment but first consider http://www.sundialmicro.com/Cooler-Master-...m_1701_708.html That would look good in a minimalist architect office. Mesh use them in this country. It also comes in Brush aluminium but I don't want a box that looks like its sister is a saucepan in MY room! If I had to, though, I would probably go for the cut down version of this Cooler Master case http://www.cluboverclocker.com/reviews/cas...aster/index.htm I have a black version without the tomb stone; I have just the elegant S face plate. Ah, here it is. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811119074 The pictures, as you come to expect of the otherwise seemingly excellent newegg (I say 'seemingly' because we don't have newegg in this country) are typically poor. For instance, click on the last pic. It implies the case is tri-tone, grays and blacks. In fact it is dark gloss slightly brushed metal black with a gray panel that I think can be removed. It has a mirror line that I'm not crazy about but I can live with it. No screws, very easy to put together and high grade metal makes for reduced vibration and low noise (albeit not silent). I have seen it for $63 online. If only they made it in white! It's a little on the big side and if I make another Hackintosh I will go for short form, something like a Mac Mini. Heck, if they put even a semi decent graphics card in it I would go out and buy a second Mac Mini tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisbadenov Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Actually, modding a G4 case is not all that hard. I tend to be all thumbs but I still managed to mod an old G4 Quicksilver case to my Hackintosh. Really, all you need is a dremel, a drill (with metal bits), time and patience. I am about 95% complete on my mod, as soon as it is all complete, I will describe what I did, how I did it and provide lots of pix but for now, I need to finish the mod. Take a look at the work so far. To see the photo in better detail, drag the image to your desktop and open it up. And since the space that is hosting the webpage is free, it does tend to get clogged by high traffic, something else I am working on (just come back at a later time) LEt me know what you think. http://www.geocities.com/borisbadenov_osx8...silver_mod.html Boris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
