Finally i found the time to begin with my next casemod.

The base is a Powermac G5 case with a special ATX mod, based upon the worklog of David Chugg from TheLaserHive.com.




First of all, i had to take out all the old mac stuff, wich was not as simple as i thought. (these friggin macs need extreme engineering skills to dismount)




The next step was to cut out all the mac openings at the back of the case, to make room for the nex ATX parts.
I used a renovater like tool, but a professional one

ROFLMAO








Then i was ready to see if the new aluminium ATX back plate fits.




As you can see, it fits almost perfect.

The next step was to see if the interior part with the expansion card slots fits too.






















Well it fitted without any problems.

Then i had to get rid of all tohe friggin standoff pins inside the case. There were tons of them, thx Apple, but it was very easy to remove them wit a little tap of hammer.

Afer that i mounted the motherboard tray made of PMMA wit brass inserts for the mb standoffs.










Fits too, lucky me

The last thing i did today was very exciting!
I tryed to mount a mainboard, and it was fitting too - hell yeah
















So now I`m free to do all the mods i want to and if I dont`t get good results i have 3 other G5 cases in stock.
I will share my progress here with much pics. (Better quality, the cam at work is just crap)
