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. :)

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.

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)

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
