Power Mac G4 QuickSilver Mod W.I.P. (almost done)

[war6000]

This is my first case modding and my first Hackintosh build. The end result is already being tested by a friend to check for Hackintosh and case mod build stability.

MOBO: Old HP leonite
CPU: C2D E4300
PSU: Pulled from an old eMachine.
Ram: Just a bunch (4gb) of DDR2
HDD: Pulled from that same eMachine

i did a few modifications to the case to try and keep the apple layout of hardware the whole thing still needs a lot of polish but the layout is the one I am going to use.

a lot of the ideas i got from here. Pardon me for not being able to mention the names from the top of my head.

This is my first case mod ever done. i only had basic tools and my loyal lil Dremel.

Hopefully I learned something from this progress and help me on my next projects.

I was just gonna keep this to myself but since i got a lot of ideas and inspiration from other posts i figured it was just a matter of writing a little bit and uploading a few pictures.

Peace out, happy modding and hackint0shing.

***** If someone gets to see this can you please show me how to move this post to Case Mods>PowerMac G4. Sorry and Thank you *******

Good job! One question, where does that door mounted 80mm(?) front fan draw its air from?

Im not using a dvd so i removed that whole cage and used glue to hold the fan and pull air from the dvd door i know its a tiny lil gap (edge) but i figured a lil air is better than no air. Since im having someone do some testing on it i would soon remove that fan and compare avg temps with and without.
If it is not getting enough airflow in to justify it i can always drill a couple wholes on the dvd door (prefer not to)

Thanks for your interest and hope people can get at least ideas or just will to do a mod of their own. the harder step is to get started

Happy modding

I am getting ready to do a G4 and I will be transplanting a working pentium dual core 6300 system. It will be interesting to see how cooling goes for you as I will probably end up with a similar system.

Hi, can I ask how you wired the power and LED using the power card, dirtwegy.
