Updated Graphics 4 Days Powermac G5 Mod (HD7870)
At first: Hello tonymacx86 community.
In this thread I will show you my modded Powermac G5.
I made this Mod in about 4 days and a full work time of ca. 40 hours (maybe some hours more, I'm not really sure).
I started on Monday at 6pm and was finished yesterday on 4pm.
My aim in this mod (by the way my first mod ever) was to use as much of the original parts as possible.
In this 4 days i modded just the mayor parts of the case.
There are some little things to do like soldering some wires for the fans etc.
Accidentally i got no pics from the modding process.
Pics are going to follow soon.
EDIT:
Here you all got some pics.
As i said, I'm not completely finished.
I just finished the mayor part.

EDIT 2:
Also the plastic thing for better airflow fits.

EDIT 3:
Some new pics, i run the wires a little bit better and removed the "Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps" that you can see in the video.

as you can see, i modified the back fan holder to fit the main board ports on the back.

the back fan holder now fits very close.

in this picture you can see were i used my dremel to make it fit with the main board (this is the metal plate between cpu and graphics card).
SHORT UPDATE:
added cpu cover, also i got a new cpu cooler from which i will post a picture later.
