Hi guys! I decided to mod a G5 case for my new Z77X-UP5 TH system and use my old system as a server for minecraft.
I went the mountain mods route (I went for a more factory look, countersinking the screw holes), and modified the sans digital hdd rack for my drives.
I want to use the old G5 PSU bottom housing (I gutted the PSU) in order to have the stock look for the power connector. I plan on modifying an OSHA cable to connect to the pins on the original connector. I don't want to go full on and modify my ATX PSU because I want to be able to upgrade my system in the future and use the same case, and besides it looks a little scary.
My problem is that I want to be able to mount my ATX PSU to the case somehow. Currently it is sitting on the bottom towards the front with a right angle OSHA cable (the one I plan on modifying). It's important that I mount it because I want my case to be portable and I don't want the PSU flying up and hitting the mobo.
Any ideas for a PSU support bracket that I can mount onto the old G5 PSU bottom housing? I fully expect to be drilling and tapping holes in it, so that's not a problem.
Thanks!
