Blah101 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I cut a power cord so there is a short "jumper" that plugs into the power supply. The short stock standoffs are perfect height to hold up the motherboard tray! I popped the long ones out with pliers. I used the stock motherboard screws to bolt the mountain mods tray to the stock short standoffs in the case. My case uses NO glue or epoxy or any other "ductape mods". Would you by chance have a step by step guide on how to make that? I would really like to. EDIT: The jumper that is.

meltman Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Would you by chance have a step by step guide on how to make that? I would really like to. EDIT: The jumper that is. Step1: Get a power cord Step2: Cut power cord with scissors to the desired length Step3: Solder the 3 wires from the cut power cord to the IEC socket receptacle you bought. Step4: Plug your jumper cord into your power supply inside the case Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267834-melts-g5-mods-one-complete-one-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1802499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Pham Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 How did you attach your G5 HD caddy to the steel on top of it? I'm actually trying to think up several solutions right now.

Kevin Pham Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I figured out a pretty easy solution. I'll post it later tonight!

Kevin Pham Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 please do post. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=276564 Pretty much, I drilled three holes into the steel plate for the optical, then three holes into the steel part of the HD caddy. I got a 8-32 x 1" coupler and screwed them in from both sides.
