Hey
I am in the process of getting my internal components for my hackintosh (finally decided after a month of looking on here) and getting the G5 case ready for the components.
I bought a damaged case off the bay and have since stripped it of all components, removed the outer casing (with the handles on and where the motherboard mounts to) as it was too badly damaged to repair, and I have crafted some plates to use instead. (Sorry about the poor quality images)
I am going down the route of no cutting, so I am looking for a method of adding a rear i/o or making one with just the USB, RJ45, audio jacks and TOSLINK. I have seen that there once was a board manufactured by someone that was a bolt in item but this has ceased. I will mount DVI, HDMI and USB on a PCI plate.
Has anyone successfully made a rear i/o board from PCB sockets and a breadboard or come up with a mounting solution that looks completely stock from the outside??? (I've been looking on maplins and such like to find the sockets but can't find a breadboard without copper on.)
So does anyone have any suggestions???
BTW I'm based in the UK.
Thanks for any advice
Oli
EDIT: This will be a neat install with a hidden panel behind the motherboard for the wiring.
