wow bro tjay_tj you are damn good in making bracket, can custom make one for me? lol

well the result is not as nice as expected.
thanks anyway

yay~ new update.

tap the bracket using screw ( cant find tapper in this country )


also the spacer is placed.




original mac hdd cage




problem :wallbash:




the hdd cage will hit the motherboard.

well i guess i had to find the solution.

some other things





this lian li bracket will be placed infront as intake

thanks for watching and
see you soon.

wah dude, u build ur own apple g5 casing ah?

u started long ago lolz
doing precise works eh?
wish u all the best
looking forward to seeing ur outcome
very nice work u've done so far

bro,

how did you tapped the screw holes using screw? on alu is it? using normal screws?

no. just mod a used one to fit standard motherboard.

just started 2 month ago. yea. all the pieces need to be exact. error of millimeter will cause the piece to be unusable.

any error made will cost ur time and effort as well

ya, it is aluminium, and thin sheet of it so it is not that hard.
just screw the screw into the hole drill a little slightly smaller than the screw. u may wan to put some lube . go thru the thread slowly.
u might wan to try on scrap before on the real thing.


ya, i already scrap 3 or my previous bracket. spend 1 week each to make it.

lol very nais.. so clean... cannot believe this is handmade liao....

nice

been facing quite a few small problem.

1st is the hdd cage. (not enough space for it and the g5 air baffle /deflector in place)



2nd is the front IO cable. (not long enough for it to reach, i managed to burn a speaker by plugging in the wrong pin )

before giving up or taking some rest form modding.
i managed to do some test fitting with some hardware.

hardware use will be going in the g5 case.

processor - intel i5 750
motherboard - asus p7p55d-e-pro
ram - corsair xms3 2x2 gb
graphic - gigabyte gtx 260+
psu - gigabyte odin gt 550w (not seen yet)
hdd - WD 808gb (not seen yet)






u can see about the wire will have no space to route once the psu placed.




the g5 and my current lian li g7b


hardware gutted out

that is all.
more work is being done. seen u soon.

mac win

well. this project is not dead, yet.

just been facing with lot of difficulty and stupid error.

as u can see. i have started the back io port mod



make a bracket for the io port to be fitted to the case.



as u can see. it didnt fit :wallbash:



looks like i made the wrong way :wallbash:





will try to fit it before finishing other part.

before than.

replacement for the apple hdd tray

this



or this



thanks for taking a look.

I would go for this one cause in my opinion,easier to remove the hdd then the second option
Second option will be pain in ass to remove HDD once you install it in vertical ish to the case

Wanna swap with my V1000??

Im looking for such case for long time edi~
