So this happened yesterday, it was a fun 6 years. I don't recall ever seeing any other case mod being put to rest. We need some type of case mod morgue thread.

Nice build @Pepo31, I've started lurking again as planning a new build this year, this time I might actually pull off the water cooling. I've got another donor G4 Quicksilver ready but I've also have a Digital Audio which I'm considering to use.

I cannot stress this enough but research, research, research then measure, measure again, measure again and measure again. But if you have any specific questions just ask, someone is bound to reply.

I like your braided cable management, looks good, and familiar.

@Asomatous I'm still alive, and so is my Power Hack G4. I've just migrated back to Australia after spending the last decade in the UK so I've been rather busy getting the family settled. I've just powered the system back on tonight after being turned off for the final time in the UK early March...

I'm looking forward to seeing this build complete, also trying to figure out how your going to fit everything in, I'll pray for you.

So @chinese_spy, you were right, it didn't fit, time for that custom loop.

Seems we all make the same mistakes again and again with these builds, although @chinese_spy must have done his reading prior to his build as he managed to get it all to fit nicely. Don't give up on the water cooling just yet, know I haven't, I'm now going for a custom loop. BTW @chinese_spy...

Previous water cooling setups just had too many limitations, the Corsair, hoses too short. The SwiftTech, again hoses too short and the cpu block was a little on the chunky side, yes the hoses on this one could have been lengthened but I just decided it was not the cooler for me. Thanks for the...

Update: Quicksilver Power Hack G4 WC Edition So I’m making another attempt (3rd times a charm) into water-cooling by blatantly ripping off chinese_spy's water-cooling setup. I’ve ordered the near perfect EKWB AIO EK-XLC Predator 240, cannot wait until it arrives. Other Components EK-ACF...

@chinese_spy I'd love to see some more images of your watercooling setup, I've been looking into watercooling my G4 Quicksilver for over a year now but I still cannot find a suitable rad, res and pump setup.

I just used Multibeast 6.5.0, I am however still on Mavericks. Multibeast -> Drivers -> Audio -> Realtek ALCxxx -> ALC1150 & Intel 9 Series Motherboard Support

Update: Rear plastics and the All-in-One water cooling. So I finally got around to cleaning up the rear plastics, not perfect but it's about as good as it's going to get. The H220 from Swiftech finally arrived but it did not fit the layout of my configuration (just like the Hydro...

Update: Some All-in-One water cooling options before I go the full custom setup. I initially bought a Hydro H105 from Corsair but it didn't fit, hoses were too short for my configuration. :-( I've now bought a H220 from Swiftech but it's on back order, no idea when it will be...

Update: benchmark scores, nothing fancy but quick enough for what I need. General system benchmarks from Geekbench 3 OpenGL test results from Unigine Heaven for nVidia Geforce GTX 770 graphics at 1080p
