Toos his first G5 Mod *Buildlog Day 3
*First of all sorry for my horrible English i hope you guys don't mind .
Hi there.
So i did my first full working Hackintosh mod. But i was not satisfied.
The thing is. It is so easy to make a full working hackintosh with the guides. But build it in a beautiful Apple case in another thing. So i saw a G5 case and felt in love .
I hope i can enjoy you people with another G5 project.
Here is the hardware i'm using:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
Processor: Intel Core i5 4430
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8 GB (2x4)
SSD: Samsung 240 EVO 250gb
HDD: 500gb samung
Power: Corsair CX Series Modular CX500M
Wifi: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 450Mbps Wireless N
And here is day 1 and 2 with the case:
The backplate and motherboard tray conversion set from The Laser Hive(many many thanks for the beautiful set). The new design with the PSU integrated on the top:
And than the G5 case and the cutting:
Day 3:
I cut some small pieces to make it fit right. Than i started to fit the hardware. I only have some trouble to fit the PSU. But pics say more .
Day 4:
Temporary PSU cable solution. And i have started to make an idea for the mounting of the front fan.
Day 5:
I cut the dvd tray to fit next to the psu. I have to adjust it a little more but it almost fits perfect.
Day 6:
Got my new fans and i did make a start with the cable management.
Day i really don't know anymore .
The MSI Gaming GTX660 is in. Started with the fan holder and installed my new gadget the Cooler Master Seidon 120M. Next up is making a awesome fan placement and do something about the cable management. I am thinking about making an complete back cover and ground cover where i can place all of the cables.
Made some acrylic covers with carbon wrap:
