Nice!

And because i got to much time this evening I eventually put some cool blue (sorry i don't know the english word) kaltlichtkathoden in the case.

Actually the exact term for these lamps are CCFL means: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps.

And I'm back again, the "Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps" are removed, because i cannot fit them in the way i want it.
updated pics are in the first post.
i run the wires a little bit different so that it looks better (you can only see a little bit of them).

now a little update.
in the following pictures you can see, that i now have the cpu cover installed.
I had to buy the cover, because it was not included in my case.

Hi! I want to ask U: What are your temperatures? I am very curious By the way, nice Mod! Simple and clean!

 

[theandy94]

Graphicscard when palying games is about 60°C the other time the card is about 38°C.

More than decent Great job...I find it very hard for me to start a G5 Mod because in my country is hard to get one empty case: Customs are very time-consuming

Updated Graphics 4 Days Powermac G5 Mod (HD7870)

So, today I updated my Graphics Card.
I am now running a Asus Direct CU II HD7870 2GB, I have no Whitescreen issue.
Works completely OOB with GraphicsEnabler=Yes
DVI to VGA is working.
HDMI works fine.
Sleep works, only my USB Devices on the USB 3.0 Ports are gone after wake.
At the moment HDMI Audio isn't working, don't know if it is because the DSDT edits or the SSDT for 6 series Motherboards are not Compatible with HD7xxx yet or something else. I tried all Framebuffers, but only Aji, Futomaki and Hamachi were working, all without recognized HDMI Audio.
Was searching for HDAU in IOReg, but only found the HDAU from Onboard Graphics.
Because of this: No HDMI Audio for me. (For now)

If you have a question, just ask.
