The main case mod goals i had in mind.
To use the G5 fans.
To keep the same airflow.
Not take out the top shelf
Balancing keeping the G5 as original as I can without compromising on the build.
The core mods that i made: (beyond fitting laser hive's 120 low mATX Kit):
G5 Fan Mod Control & 5.25" Fan Controller & 2x 2.5" HDD Caddy in optical bay.
PSU Fitting.
Middle Shelf.
Will break in down in detail in the following posts.
First I have to say the inspiration came from reading a lot of awesome mods on and ideas this site. If I used your idea without giving you credit. Let me know and will put it here (and sorry i missed it)
I used the same 3.5 to 2 x 2.5" adaptors from icy dock that stiligFox's here http://www.tonymacx86.com/powermac-g5/152927-stiligfoxs-powermac-g7.html Such a neat idea I had to use it.
I also got the pinout from for the G5 fan from sheriff here. Without that info i would not have even considered using the g5 fans.

I've enjoyed making this one and learned a lot of lesson from my earlier mod.

And a lot more from reading the forums.
