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

Yea but if you look in the guide it says nothing about fitting a dvd/cd drive in it

Internal Picture???

Pictures from the rear?

[sigxcpu]

few hours after what?

[A30Guy]

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.

Cheers,

I have the same Mobo,
i can´t use of both ram!
dvd drive assembly obstructs both RAM

i need external dvd drive...  

[zfire89]

i noticed there are longer dvd drives and shorter ones i happen to have a shorter one so i lucked out.
if you would like to know what one i have its SONY DVD RW DRU-710A and my vendor is supported and i can burn with out that patchburn app.

[zfire89]

If there is a chance I can take pictures tonight what all views and angles would you want to see.
