There are many G5 Mods, but this one is mine.

Since I owned a Powerbook G4 I wanted to own also a PowerMac and later a Mac Pro, but Apple never made one for me. One Tower Mac that I could argue to buy. After more then 15 years of using apple hardware I decided to build my own tower Mac. So there it is.

Design:

I got the inspiration for the design for many parts from the design of the original Mac case and from modern cases. I tried to combine the ideas and preserve as many parts as possible. The DVD-Drive and SSDs do have one air Chamber. The GPU and CPU is divided into two sections and the PSU under the cover is also in its own air chamber. I only use the grey Noctua fans because I think they fit the case best.


Hardware:

• ASUS Strix 270G
• CPU Intel 6600K
• AMD RX 480X
• 32 G.Skill RipJaws (repainted)

Some Tools I Used

• Montana Spray Cans 285912 400 ml, Silver Chrome
• Dremel
• Metall Saw
• A lot of parts from amazons. Screws, Cables etc.

If you have any questions, let me know.

The light is controlled by a raspberry pi which is located under the cover. The light can be controlled by a push button i installed under the Case. It can be static, pulsed (like the sleep LED in the older MacBooks) and off.

Inspired! Currently working on an Iron man theme but have the hardest time designing the interior. This looks fantastic

Could we see some pics of the back side I/O of the case ? Wondering how you needed to modify that.
