SO this summer has been tough. Ive spent it entirely building case mods from mac pro or g5 cases. I started with a G5 and was very unhappy with the results because i didnt buy laserhive peices and lack the setup for cutting myself. I did another. This one was better but then i found the mac pro case. My goal was to make as little cuts as possible, to not have to move the rear exhaust fan from its current location. But as you can see i really deviated. This occurred because of the AIO i went with which when front mounted takes up space required hot swap tray and would not fit the shroud for ther original mac pro front fan
I call it the OfferUp Dark Unicorn because 90% of the pieces for this build came used or new but deeply discounted from OfferUp and i have a rgb uptop like a unicorns horn.
