Thanks guys for helping me! I actually got it to power up with a jumper straight on the MoBo power switch pins. Made my way to the bios setup, until run out of alone-time from the family :P So the build is actually functioning and all the parts should be ok. What a relief. I am using converter...

Oh my, this didn't go as planned. I finally managed to get all the parts together and find the time to assemble them. I tried to be super careful as i haven't build a whole computer before. Everything dropped smoothly into their places. I was eager to turn on the power switch. Nothing happened...

Ah, sorry! I didn't realize you already had a build and functioning cable.

Hi! You could Google or search this site for "G5 front panel pinout". It has been pretty much covered already. :) EDIT: The first hit of the Google search is Eelheads brilliant G5 front panel cable guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/powermac-g5/77208-g5-front-panel-quick-guide.html

Could you be a bit more specific? Hot swapping ssd straight from Mac to Samsung. No, I don't think so. Using ssd from Mac on a Hackintosh, absolutely fine.

Oh, that's a relief. Thank you Stork.

I am a bit confused here. I just ordered Crucial Ballistix BLS2C8G3D169DS3CEU Sport XT 16GB (8GBx 2) 240 Pin DIMM DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 Memory Module which is recommended in the buyer's guide. I can't find it on the Qualified Vendors List (QVL) -pdf linked above though. Am I just missing it from...

Somehow I got stuck in idea about using the original bracket to mount them. No other reason. Bigger fans would have probably been more efficient, but I guess it's live and learn. I'll have to do another cleaner mod after this :D

The case is now assembled back to one piece and this project is taking baby steps forward. Just ordered first set of parts. Actually only thing not ordered is mobo (and GPU which I'll buy later) Kingston Technology 120GB Solid State Drive 2.5-inch V300 SATA 3 Kingston Technology 120GB Solid...

The original front panel I/O can be re-used. You could create a front panel cable by yourself or buy a ready-made cable from here. I bought cable from BlackCH mods for my mod. Superb quality and price wasn't that bad. If you are willing to do some soldering, tutorial for the cable can be found...

The tutorial I linked says: So basicly any standard atx psu will be fine. I'd choose suitable from the buyer's guide.

If I understood correctly what you are about to do, there's a tutorial by G5 modders how to fit atx-psu into G5 psu case. Looks relatively easy, but you'll have to do some soldering. If you are planning to use the original g5 psu, could you please clarify.

Thanks for the info Dschijn. I decided to go with the 120 mm case fan. So, this project has taken baby steps forward. I have stripped the case completely empty. Apple's engineers have done really impressive job designing the G5 (and used quite a lot of bolts and nuts to keep the case together)...

Really nice build and case mod Mörkö! On a component level pretty similar that I have in mind. It's good to see people getting these done. Gives me hope. Terveisiä Hämeenlinnasta!

Hi you all! I am just starting my first G5 case mod and I’ve read a bunch of worklogs (actually my first ever computer build from start to finish). I got my G5 case yesterday, bought it for 30e from a local mac-userboard. I am glad it was already defective, so I don't have to feel bad for...
