No problem, a dremel will work just fine, second option is not that hard in my opinion against the first option(will be a hassle did it one time like this and also did the second way and prefer the second one above the first one anytime of the day. First remove all screws on the inside ''both...

You can have a look how i did it maybe it helps you out a bit i used a Mac Pro 1.1 PC from 2006 to convert it to a ATX case and reused the front I/O board for the power button only things not working is the power-led and audio port but going to look into it in the new year have 2 more front I/O...

There are 2 ways of doing it: 1 - you keep the parts that make case in place they are and grind with a mini grinder the rivets out, than you have to use a bit a force to get it out. 2 - the case is made out of 4 parts unscrew all screws on the inside (both sides) than tape the top and bottem...

you also can diy it by reusing windows pc cables/input parts (USB,Headphone/audio jack plug). with my build i ordered a 4 usb 3.0 hub with a plugs for straight to the motherboard. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/mac-pro-1-1-hackintosh-z390-designare-build-2021.311051/post-2257341 it a quick...

Small update on my pc build or better sayed my setup update, always wanted two 30inch Apple cinema displays but back then I could not afford it but the first one I bought a few years back for 140 euros and this week I bought 2 for 100 euros one that was sayed not working but lucky is working but...

After a few weeks of enjoying the pc build on a tv screen finally I had some time to place the build on my desks and hook it up to my Apple Cinema 30inch display and now looking for a second one so I can disassemble one to paint it so it’s matching with the Apple Mac Pro 1.1 case that I also...

The build is up and running now I only need to get the following items to finish the build: - a second SSD for the OS X part - a better graphic card - redo the paint job - and a few small bits Also building a external hd case out of a old Mac Pro 1.1 case, already removed the old ports and...

Full atx motherboard and a stock look is possible with a precise amount off modding. But you will have sat backs, that you’re going to have to take a few steps back for every step forward especially if it’s you’re first build. You can check my build log to see what I mean.to go for a stock...

So today I fixed the speaker with a new speaker and bolted it in the case plus finally placed the front fan unit in the case back in and wired the power button and tested it on a old pc and it works. Thinks to still be done later on are: Front Audio input Led when pc is on Drive bay adjustment...

Planning on wiring the power button and led with these cables I got but think I need a resistor to get both led cables to work with the Apple led wire

So wired the 2 hd and connected the few wires that I did not do yesterday night. Found out that I need to cut a little more off the dvd drive case so all the wires are not preventing the dvd case to insert all the way in. So that’s on the list for today plus also fixing the front fan speaker...

This was a big step back but also a giant step forward again by improving the cable management inside plus had the chance to fix a slot pin of the mechanische that got lose. Started with placing the motherboard back in and bolting it and reattached a few cable and power supply unit in the case...

Not yet but getting there, had some hick-ups along the way sadly. The paint job was one because the weather outside changed to much, it’s not perfect so have to re-do it sadly. Also the vinyl stickers not all of them where good so have to find a good place to make the ones that where not good...

If you could think off how you did it that would be awesome. I know it’s plus and minus for the button and ground should be for the led but the donor windows cables that I have are two sets. One set is for the power button plus and minus and the second one is for the led that has also a plus...

Hi all, Was planning on fixing all cable of the front I/O board to windows cables to go to the atx motherboard But since I removed the old USB&firewire ports with a dremel since I could not get them off with a soldering iron for the live of me. And hot glued 4 usb 3.0 cables in there places...
