I got the G5 case from AllMac.com I think. I contacted a whole bunch of different people so can't remember who I finally went with. The case itself was not a bad price $100 but shipping was like around $50 because it was very heavy with the orginal power supply in it.

So, everything is in and its working! It is so quiet it is amazing I still have some work to do to get things really nice and neat but its time to take a little break and enjoy my computer for awhile with some semi-serious overclocking

Here is a little snap shop of the finally assembly. I will take some more tomorrow with a lot more detail.



I have a cable assembly built so all the front panel connections are active (FireWire, USB, Audio) I just have to put it in. I am a little leary as my pinout of the front panel showed some odd stuff with FireWire. I really need to wait until I have a enough spare cash to buy a new mobo incase something decides it time to smoke

Thanks for the compliments. It was an incredible fun project for me. Never having done anything like this I learned a lot. Now I am tempted to get a MacPro case and mod it but I think the wife would get a little nutty

Hey if you still want a G5 looking case without all the hassle of modding:


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811164061

Just paint it white.

I'm sure the real G5 case is sturdier. The reviews says the one on Newegg is really thin metal.
