Mörkö's Second PowerMac G5

[Mörkö]

Hello again

It came time to start this years fourth Apple case mod and this one is my second G5.
First G5 was made in the beginning this year, in february. It wasn't so nice to cut metal parts outside the house
because it was winter time and temperature was -20 C.

First G5 looked like this

Second G5 is just in early stage and some cuts have been made and tried parts in place.
Motherboard is not yet attached so the graphics card is holding it on it's place

Components, which I will use:
MB: Gigabyte Z87MX-D3H
PSU: Corsair 600W
CPU: Intel i7-4770
RAM: Not yet
Graphics: Not yet
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master TX3 EVO

Merry Christmas to all,

Mörkö

Something new, motherboard is on its place and I/O shield also.

Will be watching this project closely. Keep posting those photos as much as you can.

Terveisiä Tampereelta.

Terveisiä Tampereelta.

Kiitosta vaan.

I have not done much because it is Christmas time and I do not bother to disturb the neighbors with noise of angle grinder.

Simplest ever power switch and led cable.

Fan on upper shelf is Noctua 80 mm and others will also be replaced with Noctua fans.

This all is seen before but when this is ready it should look like this (but without the dust).

You want to reuse the G5 original cooler?

 

[Mörkö]

No, just thin slice from front, purely visual solution
I'm not sure if it fits because atx cable might be on the way.

Happy New Year

This G5 is not ready yet but the end is near.
Haven't decide which graphics card I would buy and I have tested shortly only with integrated HD 4600.
Still missing few cables, adapters and SSD drive.

Wow, great work. Your build reminds me very much of my own G5 build, see link. Some more pics of the build process would be great to see.
