Are you going to be wiring all of your I/O ports on the original Apple logic board?

Great work! What kind of plastic/plexiglass did you use? and how did you connect the case parts together once you molded them the way you wanted?

I know its not illegal, but I have the same feeling when gas prices go up anouth $0.10. Nothing against capitalism... :lol:

agreed. I think I'm in the wrong business..hopefully the prople who are buying these have enough sence to know they're being ripped off. :problem:

haha. yeah, I thought it was fitting. I just ordered my fans, so they should be here soon. Keep an eye on the thread for the update! and once again, great job on the G5!

I've got a thread around here somewhere...... Here it is (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=46064). I havent updated in a while because, well, I havent been able to work on it much. I have got my custom backplate on, but I'm going to lump that update in with the fans, whenever I...

I'll probably be making a custom PSU housing out of aluminum sheeting that's a little more streamline and fits the motif of my build, but the concept is the same. I have all the tools and the know-how to make the mods, just never the time! :lol:

awesome, great info! Your rig looks very nice!

Okay! Good to know! About how fast are your front fans spinning? I'm putting either 80mm x 2 or 92mm x 2 fans in the back of the case and I want the to keep up with those massive fans!

Man that looks sharp! Great job on the front fans. I'm going to copy your method, if you dont mind! :D Do the 200mm fans fit in the case well? I was going to use 120mm, but if 200's fit, I'll just get those instead. Awesome job!

Hey man, a mod is a mod, no matter how dirty.. :D I meant no disrespect, I was just offering my thought. I know that when ever I'm working on my G5 mod (its taking freaking forever :? ), I love the things people say and their suggestions seem o help me make a better machine at every turn...

haha. This is true, wishful thinking, i s'pose.. :lol:

eh..to each his own, i guess. I'd do it so the cables dont impede on airflow and heat. but I guess that's just me.. another thing. Did you wire up the front panel? Just kidding, I missed it the first time I looked at your pictures..

well...that was...minimal :lol: Gotta ask though, why not do a little cable management? with all that space, you can certainly make it look super clean! and even if you cont use a optical drive, it might be good to get a cheap one (~$20USD online) just to have. It would be much quicker than a...

I'm trying to put together a new rig for a friend and I'm trying to decide on a GPU. It will not need gaming capability, just smooth video playback. I'd like to keep it in the sub-$100 price range. I'll be using a i5 2500 CPU. What are some good options? Here are some that I've been looking at...

noted, thanks!

If you make it, someone will pay...

sweet, I'll have to stock up on some of these, especially the PVC pipe cement. I'd never thought of using that..

Awesome, thanks. You guys have all the answers!! :lol:

Well put. I've used regular hot glue on a few smal electrical things (macbook chargers, holding leads down, etc..), and while there was no heating problem, there was a stability issue. The glue kept peeling off and I had to eventually use good ol' JB weld. I can always count on JB to get me...
