Mac Pro Case mod

[massdib]

Dear all,

I am currently trying to make my first mac pro case mod. Obviously the front IO is a problem,
I researched on this forum a lot, and although there is a lot of good info, most of the pictures are missing.
I have experience with computers, but no that much.

Can someone please explain it to me like i'm 5

Thank you

Hi I just finished mine!, the front IO was the last part I installed. Here is a link to my front IO post #118, I used a BCHmods G5 front panel to ATX cable.

I saw this part, the price is Ok with me... it's just the look...
It's nice but I would prefer the OG io.

I actually got the power button to work, i just need to figure out the USB's.
