Anodised Apple PC

I have made an attempt to create a water cooled PC from an Apple case but with a slight twist. Its anodised Blue. I have not seen an anodised Apple before so maybe I am the first. Let me know what you think.


The specs are as follows:-

Anodised Apple G5 case
Motherboard tray from Antec alloy case
2600K CPU
GTX 590 Graphics card
2 x Spinpoint 7200 1 TB hard drives
Corsair AX1200 PSU
Pioneer Blu-ray writer
NZXT Sentry LXE Desktop Touch Screen Fan Controller
Phobya Radiator Grill Triple (360) Hole Series - Black
Koolance CPU-370 water block
Thermochill EC6 Non Conductive Coolant
ASUS P8P67 MOTHERBOARD
Corsair Vengeance 8GB ( 2 more sticks going in soon)
Liang DDC water pump
Phobya Balancer 150 Reservoir

I think thats it

I guess I could have made the back a little neater and better but I have not much time to do the last bits. I am sure you guys are cringing right now.

You probably noticed the big ugly hole in the perspex panel, that was because the PSU is too big. I may make a perspex cutout to fit around it and make it neater.

Yes, well, to be blunt, I am not a planner and just went for it. That meant discovering the joy of falling into a long deep pit of never ending work. At the time, I got the latest of everything, but time was not on my side. I am sure a lot of you guru's out there may have done it different. I need to get a water block on the graphic card as it is a house warmer. Money is tight so it will have to wait.
 
that is SO awesome

i have always wanted to build a pc in a mac pro case, i LOVE the styling and it kinda puts two fingers up to apple considering that the pc is in there :D :D :D
 
I think the blue and clear fans are probably the most widely used in custom PC's these days. Thinking about it, you can get solid colour blue fans. By the way, these fans are blue in colour and transparent. I think I could have gone for solid blue hose and solid colour fans, not sure about the impact on the black though. I would think I would have to paint the PSU as well.
 
Hehe, in deed i had a rig, where i used fittings only :D I wanted to show it on cebit last year at the Bitspower booth, but the coordination was not in time :(
