I've had a couple of these old Macintosh LC's stuffed away in a closet for some time now and I've decided to have a go at my first case mod. I've had a few different plans for them in the past but now I think I'll actually put something into place.
The goal was to hopefully have the exterior aesthetics of the case to remain the same or as close as possible. One of the biggest challenges working with this case was the internal height. The other dimensions proved more than adequate for what I had in mind. From the preliminary measurements I thought the cooling, and more specifically the CPU cooler would be the biggest challenge, but with the right cooler, there was no problem.
I was open to community suggestions and input along the way, which was especially helpful from the more veteran modders. You can look through the thread to see how things moved along.
(Current) Specs:
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-H87TN
CPU: Intel i5-4670s
GPU: Nvidia 750ti low profile (if fit)
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L
Boot Drive: 240GB Mushkin Chronos SSD
Storage: 750GB 7200RPM 2.5in. Seagate HDD
PSU: FSP Group 19v 180W DC Adapter
WiFi Card: AR5BHB92
Bluetooth: IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter
