Fabulous mod. Love the design. Makes me want to go looking for these old clunkers on eBay.

I seem to be collecting G4s at the moment with four units and three builds happening at the same time - my MDD that I am finishing off, one of sawtooth Macs and my latest is an amazing Quicksilver that is immaculate apart from dead PSU that I bought for £1.20.
I'm developing kits of laser cut parts for all these models to make modding easier....
Wee bit excessive. My bad. But putting that aside. kits...? any concepts/ideas/prototypes/photos. anything to get as all excited for them? What models will you be making them for?minihack said:Gus said:Words can not express my love for you.minihack said:Yep, this build was a good inspiration.

Is it just me or is that just a bit creepy???!
Anyway......I'll try to take it positively!

Ok. In the works:
(1) a combined laptop DVD writer and front I/O set of USBs headphone and mic input that will fit into space where full DVD goes on the sawtooth/yikes/gigabit/dig audio models - it is only as deep as the laptop drive and sits nicely behind the flap so is hidden away and gets around the traditional issues of having to saw one corner of the DVD drive away while giving full I?O function at the front.
(2) A template that will fit over the mounting posts of the side doors and allows simple drilling of the exact positions for a Micro ATX board standoffs for using original PCI brackets etc - this template when cut from acrylic also doubles as a pre-made motherboard tray that screws to existing holes on the side door. Hard to explain but you'll get it when you see it.
(3) For the MDD an alternate front panel (still mirrored) that allows an extra 120mm fan to be fitted (no drilling needed) and that also brings full I/O to the front
(4) For the Quicksilver another no drill solution for the two front flaps - top one to include a nice Corsair I/O solution with firewire, two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0 and headphone/mic and for the lower one to include a hot swap SSD port......
So that is the taster. Bad news is pic.s and full details will still have to wait a short while as i am snowed under with real work, we have a wedding to attend and a new rescue dog arriving in the next week. I will though on each of these 4 things be posting details on here to show what goes on and will also be posting the files for the motherboard tray drilling template.
Hoping at the moment too that the dog won't be one who likes to steal computer bits and bury them.
Is that enough of a preview???
