nerd of nerds Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 heeellllooooo! well, seeing as all this osx86 stuff came out right around the time i was looking into a g3 ibook i decided to go for that instead....(Bday gift...) in celebration of my new mac computer i decided it would be fun to trick out my compy case with white lights and some apple logos... here is a pic i took the other day of the "window" (it might end up looking like the apple on an ibook tho ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 That is {censored} great, I am using it as my new desktop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentz Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 my original plan was actually take a G5 case and stick my pc components inside it...but it is suprisingly hard to get a used G5 case, and also major $$$$$$$$$$ to buy a brand new one. New project might be a G4 Case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Jobs Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Wow... that looks almost like a real Power Mac. When I think of unholy marriages, I'll picture this thread. You should have gotten a G4 or a G3 case and modded that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurk Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I found a used G5 case on ebay for like $50 a while back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFran Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 haha that's cool. reminds me back when I was dreaming about taking a G3 case (yeah those cases were blessed hott) and putting a PC into it. But where would I have found a G3 case unless I woulda bought a G3 and then anyone ever managed to do that? what would be great to would be to put a PC in a G4 Cube case, or even a MacPlus or Classic case, but i think it's already been done..

Stern Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I have a mac plus, still working. No, you can't have the case. Yes, it's been done before with lights and everything. (Cold cathode tubes, uv, the works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentertainment Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Now for that case... (at least this is what I would do) -Brush up those edges with a little sanding. -Add some plexi-glass under it (get good stuff that wont scratch too easy) -Get some Col-cathode lights + a relay and wire them through the light off your power supply/motherboard, you may need to use a triac relay to do this if the cathodes require more power -Get some nice acryllic spray paint and make it look "pretty" Voila, you have THE PERFECT case! (you might even want some faded-white plexi and do kinda like that power-book glowing apple instead) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudar Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 my original plan was actually take a G5 case and stick my pc components inside it...but it is suprisingly hard to get a used G5 case, and also major $$$$$$$$$$ to buy a brand new one. New project might be a G4 Case though. Hey, that was my initial intention too! ) But after some time spent on seeking around for a genuine G5 case I bought this: http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/D_PC-800.htm And it's even better for this one is a Desktop case! G5 PowerMacs are all in Tower cases so mine is a really unique G5 in that aspect! :mellow:)) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
