silver dolphin Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I really love the G4 casing (not the cube) and I was wondering if I could put Pc parts inside one and turn it into a hack? I alrredy found the whole thing for $103(the whole comp) and I will be using standard Pc parts. Asus P5W Deluxe MoBO Intel Core 2 Quad PNY GeForce 256MB(I know it works) ..........still deciding the rest. I have picked ones that work O-T-B enlighten me, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple apple Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Sure will. You may have to flip the front upside down though so the dvd drive is on bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver dolphin Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 why will I have to flip the cover, and how bad is the temp prblm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baudouin Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Because the Ram Memory will be in contact with the DVD driver and it will be difficult to close the case.

teknojunkie Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 y don't you use a G5 case easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dolphin Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 No, the G4 case is just too beautiful. but the prblm is, I know how to work with the tools, but don't have tool sense. If I have any problems, I'll have to keep coming back here. :DIf it is too tough, I'll use the G5, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple apple Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Nah, everybody does the g5. There are only a handful of nice g4's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dolphin Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Is the g5 very tough to implement? scale on 1-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackit Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 @crazybyte, I think this may help you: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=86416 Don't give up! That was a decent attempt. All I can say on that one. Aqua-Mac is the end-all be-all of Mac case mods (not to mention hax 6800GT MDD skills). Learn from the pro(s) (http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/) No.. stop looking at me. I'm a case-mod newb Hopefully I'll have mine at least started tomorrow. Finding the time for these projects is the worst thing of all. My mod will be from the same G4 case btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal swimmer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think you have to use a microATX (mini?) motherboard, as normal ATX won't fit. I have an old G3 tower, and thats what it looked like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
