Thank you. I don't know the temps on the CPU, since they change depending on the program I use to monitor them with. The GPU has fallen with around 30-40degrees though, including a small vmod on it. I have overclocked the GPU/CPU also, and they seem very cool still. :thumbup:

Just need to get the rear I/O done, and to make an IR receiver. Everything else is done, and have been running Lion for a week or two. To-do: Make IR receiver, solder I/O panel on, place PCI card in machine.

Getting a bit further.

Rear fans are done. They're just waiting on the glue to harden.

I could do that, but I decided to do it this way. They look "OK" IRL, and are my only external mod to the case.

Things are happening :).

Long last, a few pictures. I'm still waiting on my last few parts. :beachball:

Re: Flatfoot's PowerMac G5-i7 Hi, I think you didn't have to cut up the rear part, since there is room for two 92mm. fans, if you just choose the right ones. I have ordered two: There "ought" to be room for them, with some 2mm. :shifty:

Small, somewhat boring update. First of all, no pictures this update, since I lost my camera on my vacation. :banghead: Anyways, the build is all done nearly, except I need a few items for my water-cooling to arrive. I had a little trouble with my front-audio jack, but I discovered the...

The Voodoo 2.7 I think it was, made me able to select what audio output I wanted. I then pressed alt+sound (at the top right bar), and could select wether I wanted front audio out, or rear. I was having concerns about having soldered anything wrong, but my machine is cruising atm. :). I hope...

I'm thinking of getting my case a clearcoat af laquer on the outer side, and keeping the mesh stock. Anyone with a thought on this? I think it might look good, but perhaps I should just stick to the standard appearance. Hm.. Anyone with some nice PS skils? :wave:

Yea, its a nice option, but where to put the HDD then, as you mention? :think: I would like to fit another PSU in the original G5 PSU casing, but I hvan't been able to find an empty one. Maybe it will show up, later on in my build?. Hm.. I think I'd better take a closer look at the PSU...

Hi flatfoot, I also had the thought of suspending it inside the case, but decided this was a more convenient method for my liking. This is coursed by the future placement of my PSU, where I will suspend the PSU in the upper part of the case, just below my optical drive. If you have any good...

Backside I/O After a lot of concideration on how to make my backport I/O work, I opted to go for a "cut-out" of a defective G5 motherboard. It turned out to be the cheapest option for me aswell. The part I will be getting, is the part I have lined out here: Cut-out I will then make wires...

Since there is no internal firewire on my motherboard, I decided to buy a PCI firewire/USB card. I did this, since there are firewire sockets on the casing, and I want everything to be working, if it is on the case. :ugeek: PCI card I also wanted to be able to use bluetooth objects from my...

Making the WiFi "happen" Since I wanted native airport support (or what name it has) I decided to make my "own" pci wifi card. I made it from buying an adapter card on Ebay, and placing an original Apple WiFI card in it. The WiFI card

Motherboard is mounted, and the backside of the case is taking shape. The internals: The backside

Since there is no "eject-button" on the outside of the G5, I made a small switch, on the backside of my DVD drive. I will have to take the sidepanel of my G5, But it should only be needed when installing OSX on my PC. :P

A small picture, showing the front of my G5 casing, with some umbraco screws, taken from 2 G4's I had "laying around." I don't think it ruins the front, but it would be prettier without them I think.
