    MacPro 2009 clean as possible(update)

    I have fit a standard ATX case in a mac pro case but there is literally a hairline of space on the sides of the board. The spot where you plug in your jumper cables will most likely be blocked by metal for the hard drive so you will need to trim that. I don't recommend it, not without removing...

    15 years I've been waiting to mod a G5

    I have kept it simple. I don't even make a bracket, I gorilla glue 2 x 140mm fans or 3 x 120mm fans together. The 2 x 140mm fans is quieter and moves more air but sometimes you already have 3 x 120mm on hand. The gorilla glue is strong enough to hold them, but weak enough that you can easily...

    Mac Pro 1.1 Hackintosh Z390 Designare Build 2021

    @willaholic89 Thanks for sharing more photos, I'm trying to live through you bit since I'm not able to finish my own conversion project. I really dig the up close shots of the epoxy jobs. The fact that you took the time to space the front usb evenly instead of just using the existing firewire...

    Mac Pro 1.1 Hackintosh Z390 Designare Build 2021

    That is going to looks so good when its done, amazing flush job. Nice that there is enough room there for the 120mm fan. I have the same motherboard and its definitely worthy of all the time.

    15 years I've been waiting to mod a G5

    I think that was me. I'm glad others are doing the front panel mod with the dual USB. I first found this method on a Russian website 5 years ago, really smart idea. Your case project looks great, thank you for sharing. Can you share some photos of the back of the case, for me that is the most...

    Long time coming atx G5

    easily one of the best jobs I've ever come across. The clean flush look on the back, it was worth the effort. Looks just amazing.

    Power supply for stock G5 housing?

    Quite a feat. I've done the same myself, but without a drill press and let me tell you your hand starts to hurt pretty bad by the 300th hole. The fact that you made the housing out of a side door of the case was a great idea, the metal looks great.

    Power supply for stock G5 housing?

    @Jimran This is such a fine display, thanks for sharing your progress. Just such attention to detail, can't even find the words. Regarding your impressive drill press, do you have to move it manually to drill each hole or does it allow you to program it to do more than one hole on it's own...

    Use MacBook Pro 15" (or 13") case to install another laptop in it

    Yes, you can do all of those things. Saying that it would be hard is an understatement.

    Use MacBook Pro 15" (or 13") case to install another laptop in it

    Can it be done? Maybe. It sounds incredibly difficult if not impossible. Laptop chassis are not made to fit w/e parts you want, they are made to fit specific parts they shipped with and whether or not a latte can fit in it is anyone's guess.

    Finally finished G5 case mod

    Congrats on being done! Modding a G5 case is no easy task and I completely understand why so many people never finish their project. At least you are done, I've been struggling with mine for a couple months now.

    Long time coming atx G5

    How i know about setbacks. I've been working on my case mod for nearly 3 months, mostly because setbacks come up and you have to change plans or fix something or order yet another item and it all takes a lot of time. I spent so much time trying painting only to have to sand and restart because...

    Long time coming atx G5

    I'd go with #17, looks close to the same grey as the other ports. Are you planning of painting the whole case or just the back? Because if you could always just paint the usb-c port the color of the case and leave the outline grey trim on the headphones and usb port.

    Long time coming atx G5

    Some acetone on a rag should remove the epoxy runoff no problem.

    Long time coming atx G5

    Looking good! You can use a small file and open up the firewire port on the front. On the back of the case the USB ports are larger, you can take the grey plastic outline and put it in the front for a clean look.

    Dremel Tool choice

    a hand file will do wonders for you. also a set of smaller files for fixing little marks where the bigger file is not precise enough. I've use'd a black and decker rotary tool and it was fine, but an actually dremel 3000 or 4000 is such a better experience. In all honesty, any generic rotary...

    Long time coming atx G5

    This thing looks amazing, going flush is going to make it look factory after you get paint it. Did you sand all of that by hand? Really nice work, looking forward to more photos.
