apreichner Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 if you wanted it to look perfect you are going to have to do a little bit of cutting. The ATX power supply is a little different than the G5 power supply so it won't work on the motherboard. You will have to find a way to mount either a standard ATX power supply or maybe a micro ATX power supply in its place. The PCI ports shouldn't be a big deal. But the other ports on the will have to be cut out and you will have to some how attach the face plate provided with your motherboards. Tape is the easiest route, but it wont look great. You may have to actually weld the two metals together. The links to your cases don't work anymore so I am looking at other pictures of Power Mac G5s. The front ports shouldn't be difficult to connect. If port connections are different such as usb and audio (never seen a g5 motherboard) then you will have to solder on some new connectors. As far as the fans from what I can tell, you might be able to mount on some fans or use the old ones. Find out the size of them once you get the cases and order them accordingly. Good luck!

Colonel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 what's with everyone buying a G5 case lately? I feel bad for all the naked G5's out there. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83104-i-bought-2-g5-cases/#findComment-590202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper X Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 what's with everyone buying a G5 case lately? I feel bad for all the naked G5's out there. I was thinking the same thing, especially in this cold cold winter ;\ It's like the fur trade... people laying out traps for the g5's who get snagged in them. Then they are brutally raped of their skin... Processors, Ram, Outdated video cards flying everywhere. PCB dust covering the floor... So Brutal ;\ Please stop the Case Trade, buy artificial cages so that the Wild G5's can thrive in the wild once again!

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This is in the wrong section of the forum you know. A few peeps have started new threads in the mods and overclocking section, or just add your project log to the stickied PC in a G5 case.

davkenrem Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The best way to do it is to use an ATX Motherboard tray. You can find them new online for about $40.00 shipped. Then if you google well you can find the G5 service manual with the pinouts for all the power cabling in the case. Here is mine so far.
