Hi to all.
This is all new and exciting. Been a Mac user for a long time. I now want to try a build. Love the Mac G5, so I would like to use it for the bases of my Hackintosh. Looking to start with the CustomMac Budget ATX. Clearly I will need to gut the G5. Has anyone done a similar build in the g5 case?
Is the existing G5 power supply usable?
Cheers.

Have a look here:

 
Thanks for that. Can't see the wood for the trees, LOL.
 
mine is in a G5 case, built it 3 years ago. Trying to use the G5 power supply was not worth the trouble for me.


Click down below for my build thread.
 
K, still using it?
 
Still using it, although it's running Catalina now.
 
If you don't mind what is your configuration and was it difficult to fit out?
 
Durrr, sorry. Should read first...
 
LOL, no problem!

The hardest part was making that first cut with the dremel, I had bought the G5 the week it was released! The laser Hive kit made it so easy to convert the case over, highly recommend it. Here's the link.
 
Yes, thanks for that. have looked at Laser hive. Did you get the mATX original?
