Hey everybody, I recently made a second G5 case mod, after my original one about 2 years ago (which wasn't worth posting).
I hope you like what you see. It's still needing a bit of a tidy up inside the case, but it's been running stable as a HTPC for about 2 months now.
Notable features.

Notable features.
- Original sliding BluRay drive (with working front shutter)
- Carbon fiber vinyl wrapped, both inside and out - This was PAINSTAKING! Had to completely dissassemble all the case in it's two main components.
- Laser Hive G5 to ATX conversion mod installed, with backplate.
- Laser Hive Front panel conversion, which is a very aesthetically pleasing finish! (Mad props to David at the Laser Hive. Easily the best customer experience I've had, and the packaging was so professionally packed, I could do an entire thread on that easily. http://www.thelaserhive.com/
- 2x Blue Cathode Lights for a nice effect.
- Icy Dock 4 in 1 SATA HotSwap for 2.5inch drives. (Fitted with 2x Samsung SSDs for super fast boot - Ubuntu)

- Gigabyte GAZ77-DS3H for when I used Mac OS on it (Old Hardware)
- 8gb Corsair Vengeance (One stick removed in image above)
- Intel 3570K (Older processor - does what I need it to do)
- 2x USB3 front Panel, eSATA, Headphones and Mic, with a sleek Power LED button.
- Sprayed Front and back in Black, and left with Aluminium bezel (trim?) intact for aesthetic look.
- Also sporting a 6TB WD Red drive to store more media in a Hot Swap frame.
