zfire89 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Today and yesterday i modded a g4 case to fit my Asrock P4Dual-915GL board, almost every thing worked except my cdrom wont fit because it hits the second ram stick when closed so i either need to find a shorter cd rom drive(which is not likely because the one i have is really short already) or trade my two 512mb sticks for one 1gb stick therefor not having a second stick in will allow the cd drive to fit, and i have to rewire the power button, restart button, and the power LED but other than that all went smooth and looks great. I will post pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A30Guy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I got an empty G4 case to do the same thing. Does the case door shut properly when there is only one memory stick installed? Do you think a laptop CD/DVD drive might be a useful alternative? I thought about using an external USB DVD drive, but it kinda defeats the purpose a bit.
