g5 case mod

The small rectangular sponge that supports the graphics card. This originally had a ATI Radeon 9800 XT installed and I distinctly remember telling myself ‘Don’t lose it!’. Of course I did, but fortunately I still had the one from the dual 1.8 G5. Just one of those details I guess.

Very tidy!.

The two Noctua NF-B9 redux 1600 92mm fans drawing air from the front and out the back. Really quiet, simple to install and both connected to the Dell 7010 motherboard via a Silverstone PWM fan splitter cable.

Working Dell 7010, i7-3770, RX560 inside a non rear cut G5 case. Dual Samsung 850EVO 250GB SSD Catalina / Windows10pro

Not quite finished, I haven’t started the bottom edge and the sides need more filing.

A bolt from the original motherboard screws into a standoff just under the top shelf.

The right side sits on top of the rear fan guard. It’s held in place by a screw that goes through the top of the heat shield.

Amazing how closing the plastic cover helps to straighten everything out, really satisfying!.

I replaced the rear fan guard. Excuse the USB 3 dongle, when the right angle USB 3 cable arrives, Ill either put inside or into the top PCI slot.

Hello everyone, I have recently buy a Mac G5 and I plan to use the case for build an hackintosh. But now I wonder myself if it's more easy to use a Mac Pro 1.1 case, cause the power supply seems more standar form factor. (and Mac Pro 1.1 have already more slot for connector on the back and...

I had to change things up a bit so making a new thread (Previous one was about the PSU mod and after some input and research I think I'm going to put an ATX PSU inside G5 PSU case rather than reuse G5 PSU) So, going to put an i7-7700K (need advice on cooling. Want to go liquid but need to...

Hey guys just wanna say first that I had this craving of doing a G5 mod since I entered the world of hackintosh in 2013, and now hey I found a G5 case...... but..... there's is only one little problem. My problem is related with the I/O front painel. Because since a G5 case (or even a used G5)...

Hi all, Finished my first PC build and my first mod. Used one of my old powermac G5's. Great fun to discover the whole community of G5 modifiers, wasn't aware there was this recycling movement going on! Have several more G5's waiting. Will be using this computer for heavy 3D rendering tasks and...

Hello. I would like to share an idea on how to hide an ATX power supply and all your cables in the G5 case. First off I have been thinking and planning a G5 case mod since the summer when I was given a non-working G5 from my mother's old friend on Facebook. I have run into a few problems that...
