Like Ross in this thread:-Power Mac G5 build
I've wanted to do a G5 Case Mod for some time, and as I was about to build a new system to replace old, I thought it would look good housed in a G5 Case.
Managed to pick up a clean (non working) 2004/5 G5 for not a lot of money
Before I got onto the mod, I stripped everything from case (and what a long job that was, they are well put together)
My intention is to retain the bare bones case, I did consider utilising some of the components from the G5, but because the system that is to be used is relatively high end, I decided on all new components, just retaining the G5 front panel switches, (Power switch/USB/Firewire port)
My planned build components:-
Motherboard-Asus Sabretooth X79 Socket 2011
Processor-Intel I7 3930K
Graphics-Geforce GTX 670
Hard Drives- Sandisk G25 Extreme 120GB SSD x 2
2TB+1TB HDD
Memory-Corsair 16GB DDR 1600
PSU-Corsair CXM 750W Modular
Cooling- Corsair H60 CPU water cooler
Dell 30 inch & 24 inch monitors
