What a great idea to have a Completed section. There should be quite an impressive showroom of final product compiled here. Here's my first build completed in Dec 2012. It used much of my existing Hack hardware moved into a 2004 G5.


Hardware in the Build:

- GA-P55A-UD4P
- I5-750@3200
- Coolermaster Hyper 212
- 2x120 SSD/4 Assorted HDD's (HDD LED indicator above G5 Power LED)
- Apple Branded Wifi & BT & Infrared
- 2x140, 2x92, 2x60, 2x120 Fans
- Antec 520w modular PSU


Work Done:

- Cable Management was priority one. All cabling hidden behind aluminum backplates.
- Airflow was priority two. Temps much cooler than the previous Antec Sonata III.
- PSU was left intact and dropped 23mm below the case in a breathable cradle.
- LaserHive mATX backplate kit and motherboard tray
- Original G5 PCI slots at rear were used
- Original rear exhaust assembly was used
- Optical Drive was removed (use a USB DVD when required)
- 4 x HDD in Apple racks
- 2 x SSD in rack on DVD shelf


Steps Taken:

- View the completed work log for details.
