powermac g5

So, i'll be sharing my G5 mod. I'm going to keep it as clean and original as possible. As such, it won't be really special, but since you all have been inspiring and a source of information, i'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm not going very fast, i really don't want to mess it up, so...

If i were to remove one of the three hooks on the door latching mechanism, would that particularly affect the door? I need to make some room for a radiator, and the easiest way would be to cut into that piece. It would be the forward most hook, if that's important

Hi guys. I've searched the forum posts for this answer but whatever I found didn't work. I've modded this case a while back and it was working perfectly with my old mobo. I've got a new Gigabyte H97M-D3H to replace the old one. This mobo doesn't come with firewire connector, and I don't...

Maybe I missed it, but I've been looking for the exact, or close to, measurements of a PowerMac G5 so that I can try to recreate it in 3D. I would need to know the thickness of the aluminum, the height of the sides, the height and width of the handles etc. The more accurate the info, the better...

Hi all, I have got a 20" (I think) Apple Display from 2003 :D, and it has a ADC connector. I own a 2012 Macbook Pro which only has a thunderbolt:-(, so I was looking on eBay and found ADC to DVI adapters, then DVI to HDMI or Thunderbolt, but they are quite expensive. So I was wondering what if...

Hello all This is my second post about my now oldish PowerMac which has gone through various stages over the last 5 years of so. I've tried different configurations before settling for this one, which I'm very pleased about and that I thought I would share. I wanted it to be all...

Hey G5 Builders, I'm looking into the possibility of my first custom build, and my only apprehension is my uncertainty for the systems reliability. Thats why I come to you! To explain a bit further - I'm a photographer and because of this I face the same computing challenges as most other...

Hello everyone. I am in the process of modding a G5 chassis for the first time. I'm thinking about trying my hand at doing as little cutting as possible with whatever method of modding that is quick and easy for me to do. I plan to cut out the excess pieces from the chassis using a drimmel hand...
