onemanstrash Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 i saw aquamac's and others' great g5 case mods and gave this a try because I just love the look of the g5 case. My first one was hard and i was learning how to make it all work as i went. So it was not very easy (this is my second case mod ever). Also on my first mod i was just using parts i had around the house and tried to make them work. On this case i bought parts that seemed to go a bit better with the g5 case. The dvd player ejects the door just perfectly and i have access to all of the i/o ports on the mobo. lost one pci slot and 2 pci express x 1. No big deal. I really love the g5 case design and now i have two. I used a nibbler to cut out the manifold for the psu. I didn't want to cover the psu with the manifold because i like the mirror finish on the psu. I have two hard drive down there that get air blown across them and out the back from the psu. The whole rig is quiet and cool.

onemanstrash Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 hehe sticmac. I haven't been here in a while..just saw the request. Well it's nothing fancy. I just cut the solid part of the i/o plate from the g5 case using a dremel. I have access on both of my G5 cases to all of the ports on the asus boards except some of the sound, but that's not an issue as i use firewire sound cards and just the stereo out(green).
