Very nice case mod - and really good step-by-step pics.
Can really see the how and whys of the build.

I decent temp drop there.
You have been the inspiration to start my take on a similar project in the next couple of weeks.

Unless your using exactly the same hardware as me its a bit of lottery, but there are some really good guides/blogs on the net.

I'd suggest removing the reference's to os x on pc hardware especially the links and mods will get unleashing their whips soon as its against the license agreement

There is a part in the EULA about not being allowed to run OSX on non stamped Apple hardware but I think I have that covered.

And just in case you were wondering its a bought retail copy of OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.0.

awesome build man, im hoping mod a G5 case for a pc.
was wondering what moddle of G5 was the case from? and do you know if the cases change in the different generations of G5?
may be a little of a cheeky question but how much did you pay for the G5 case from the bay?
mint condition ones seem to be over £150

thanks.

Another excellent build, nice work!

Thanks!

It was a dual G5 2Ghz system originally, I picked it for £66 + delivery from the bay which was pretty cheap.

thats very good

thinking of bidding on one, it has a couple of scratches but i am thinking of doing a design to the ''apple core duo'' mod so will be sanding all of the outer cage to smooth aluminum.

what do you think i should be willing to pay for a slightly damaged case?
was thinking of about £50~ +p&p

square_nothing · 23 Mar 2010 at 19:15

lost the bid, till the next cheep one

Time to add a splash of water

I have a few water cooling parts hanging around which I will be re-using for the refresh.

I am also upgrading the 9500GT 512mb with an 8800GTX 768mb graphics card.

Water cooling parts list:

EK Supreme
EK X-Res 140 + DDC Ultra 18w
EK 8800GTX Acetal

Only problem is I don't have a rad for this one, any recommendations?

Cheers! everything fits perfectly, the rest is in the project log on the previous page

I guess this is now in the wrong section?

**Mods please move it to project logs if appropriate!**
