mod

I'm currently in the progress of finishing my Powermac G5 case mod, but i want to reuse Only the power button, and LED. i don't want to reuse the USB because i plan on upgrading to USB 3.0 in the front. any way i can mod the three cables coming from the power button and LED?

I have removed ALL of the hex screws on the inside of the case (backside and front inside), and i know its able to be removed. Does it just require a lot of force to pull it off of each mount?

I'm taking receipt of a Mac IIci case in the next few days. It's always been a beautiful looking case, in my eyes. I want to turn this into a Hackintosh. I'm aware that the ports and card slots on the back of the computer case won't line up, but is this a feasible project with a mATX...
