well done very beautifully done... very nice cable management but you have to try without cutting and moding the case ............. also r u able to close the side panel?

 

Hi, Thanks

Having an full-ATX card in a mac pro case, you need to cut there is no room otherwise. right now there is about 40-60mm room for the motherboard card, top to bottom. Plus making the back with out cuts is alot of work compared to cutting it out and fitting a motherboard tray

Yes the side door closes like a real mac

 

hi this is an insane mod! love the cables! but where did u get the white cables that go to the front panel I/O? i cant find them on amazon, except on black...

 

where did u order yours from?

 

thanks!

 

Hi,

 

Well the cables I original ordered where out of stock so, ended up ordering some white sleeving for my front cables and made them my self.
