@InflamedSoul : Here are the Eagle CAD files, but there are a errors in the routing, some stuff are not working, etc... I'd advise you not to get those PCBs fabricated, as long as the problems are not corrected, but it might take some time...

Ok, I did a bit more testing : The Bluetooth module works and is recognized out of the box by MacOs. I had some bad solder joints, and +3.3V, D+ and D- were shorted together... Line out works using the AC'97 layout, but there's no auto-switching going on. I was expecting that, since the...

Ok, there are some problems :) I'll make modifications to the CAD file, but in the meantime, I'll try to correct the mistakes on this board to see how I can salvage it. It's kind of a pain to solder, so I'll probably keep this one in my computer, but if I need to make another mod, I might order...

Look what the mailman brought in today ! I also received the components to solder, but I'm still waiting on the crimper. I may try to solder the board after work, and test the connection using jumper wire, before crimping my own cables as soon as I receive the tool. Boards seems to be of a...

Hey, Steeg. Here you go : http://a360.co/2GfSDiA This is a link to Autodesk A360, where you can download the whole project for use in Fusion 360 if you want to modify it. Fusion 360 has a free limited version, but if you're a student, you just have to register on Autodesk Education Portal and...

First, let me start with a bit of warning : If you've never worked with potentially deadly or fire starting currents, I strongly advise you not to try to recable your PSU or even the small low current connectors. The lowest risk is damage to your computer in part or in whole, the highest being a...

So, I've been a bit busy : I sent the PCB for fabrication to ALLPCB. I'm used to working with seeed or elecrow, but allpcb was new to me, and to be honest, it's beyond me how those chinese PCB house can even make a profit... I ordered 5 pieces for a double sided 186.7x44.1mm board, and I paid...

The installed cooler (Hyper 212 Evo) can be rotated 90° if needed. For CPU coolers, the standards define the position and size of the holes for the fixation system (depends on CPU socket), and then every vendor can design a fixation system around those. It's quite an old build (Core i7 3770k on...

A small mod to the board : I added a connector and power regulator to the board to be able to plug one of the iMac Bluetooth Module model 820-1696-A. Congrats to JeffBurg for the initial experiments. I'll have to desolder the female connector from a dead iMac motherboard, though, seems to be a...

I installed an old BeQuiet pure power 750W PSU inside the stock PSU case. I cut a 120mm hole to fit a fan, so I could remove the anemic fans that are on the stock PSU : better cooling, and it's pretty silent. I might change it with a modular PSU one day, but it's been running fine for more than...

So, I finally found some more time to play with this. The PCB I etched was way too hard to solder carefully, and I decided that I wanted to use the motherboard headers for the ports as much as possible. My motherboard has headers for USB2, Front Audio and S/PDIF out. After a bit of googling, I...

I was able to mount an ATX motherboard by 3D printing some supports. The only cutting I did was on the original PSU case to install a 120mm fan. Thread here : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g5-case-mod-keeping-the-case-as-original-as-possible.229001/ Some parts are a bit tight, for example...

And here it is inside the case, the fit is pretty good despite some misalignment. Some of those can be worked out by wiggling the connector before soldering, but for the airport and bluetooth antennas, I guess my holes were misplaced. Oh well, it will work that way. (And sorry for the dusty case...

So today I went ahead and etched the PCB Here it is all cut and drilled, next to the original piece of motheboard The fit seems pretty good, I haven't soldered it yet and I have to check in the case before going any further, but I'm confident ;)

@macnb : I printed the parts in PLA and had no problem. Air flow hasn't been a problem for now, but I'm using a smaller GTX750. I also installed 2 x 92mm BeQuiet fans in the original back fan housing. If the need ever arises, I have a housing for a 140mm fan that can be printed and installed on...

Hi everyone, First of all, sorry for my english as it is not my native language. Like most of you, I've been a fan of the G5 case design. I started about a year ago to work on my mod, it's not yet completed 100% but it's been running fine for around 10 month now. I've been running a...

I changed the orientation of the fans, no more noise :thumbup:

Hey, I am currently doing a mod and I have the same Be Quiet 92mm rear fans. They are really silent when removed from the case, but when I clip the plate to the holder, I can hear the case rattling. Did you have this problem and how did you solve it ? I'm wondering if it's because I attached...
