starfoxtf Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yes, you are right, but its expensive and i don't want to use a dremel to cut a piece of it out for the I/O Shield!

bigboss Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 here's a great one It's my personal favorite Haha, dont count on sticking an ATX PSU in there (without some modding ofcourse). Also, Im sure that the reactions of many powermac owners would be along the lines of : "WTF? WTF?", "WHY OH WHY", "NO!!!" etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14894-which-case-is-good-for-my-macintel/#findComment-95587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdude123 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Actually... if you did like the G5 case... there are a few wannabies. Look on newegg.com. Search through atx cases under aluminum or silver. I bought the cheap version case... I believe made by linkworld. The case really stinks. Looks... it's "ok", but it's VERY noisy and it looks cheap (like something from walmart). If you don't have that much money, that might be an option. Its a case with a power supply. Linkworld "G5" case If you have the money (I mean a lot of money), you could go for the Lian Li case which looks a lot better, and resembles the G5 a lot closer. (200 bucks without power supply) Lian Li case These are some cases the resemble macs, but if you just want something in the similar styling, I would highly suggest the Antec P150. I ended up with that one after making a mistake and purchasing the linkworld case. The p150 has an "ipod" look... just looks plain good. The plastics are made well, and is super silent (like a PC in standby mode). Be aware though, the power supply does seem to have issues with Asus motherboards (I believe with built in nvidia chipsets). I have a biostar mobo with a NVidia 6600 LE, and it works perfectly fine. So why do I know about these cases? Well, I wanted to built my PC with similar qualities of a Mac (not knowing Mac OS would run on pcs), so I ended up with that case, a westinghouse 19" widescreen (it was the most inexpensive and looks nice), an apple usb keyboard, and a wacom graphics tablet. My system looks very "Mac" like, minus the back of the monitor which is black... everything else is white and silver. Just make sure you understand your case well before you buy... no matter what's inside, you'll always be looking at that case (or hearing it in the case of the linkworld). good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14894-which-case-is-good-for-my-macintel/#findComment-95871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_G Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Psst. Over here. >>> Goes for ~50 bucks. Even has 3 colors for you to choose from. Would've picked one up too except I like my cases small and elegant-like.
