toos Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 *First of all sorry for my horrible English i hope you guys don't mind. Hi there. So i did my first full working Hackintosh mod. But i was not satisfied. The thing is. It is so easy to make a full working hackintosh with the guides. But build it in a beautiful Apple case in another thing. So i saw a G5 case and felt in love . I hope i can enjoy you people with another G5 project. Here is the hardware i'm using: Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H Processor: Intel Core i5 4430 Memory: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8 GB (2x4) SSD: Samsung 240 EVO 250gb HDD: 500gb samung Power: Corsair CX Series Modular CX500M Wifi: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 450Mbps Wireless N And here is day 1 and 2 with the case: The backplate and motherboard tray conversion set from The Laser Hive(many many thanks for the beautiful set). The new design with the PSU integrated on the top. Day 3: I cut some small pieces to make it fit right. Than i started to fit the hardware. I only have some trouble to fit the PSU. But pics say more. Day 4: A temporary solution for the psu adapter. Day 5: I cut the dvd tray to fit next to the psu. I have to adjust it a little more but it almost fits perfect. Day 6. New fans and started with the cable management. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toos Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wasn't happy with the cable management so i made some acrylic covers with carbon wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickjf20 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It looks like the motherboard is holding the weight (at least some) of the PSU? I can't imagine that's particularly good in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisrand Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not sure if you had enough beer to complete this project, lol ! JK, I think this is one of the best looking G5 mods I have ever seen and it has given me inspiration to abandon my old G5 mod and create a modern version with your addition of carbon fiber. Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
