Introduction

After a few projects, from corsair 800D to Lian Li-A05NB, to Silverstone TJ 07 murdermod style and finally to bitfenix prodigy, and honestly I am not that contented. And since my family member require a small pc for home theater,

i figure i could strip down my prodigy (WHITE MINI), and build a new one for myself and giving it the itx to my family. I had always start modding internally from a case, this time will be slightly different. A full aluminium case will be

used this time, in fact I had already gotten that case from one of the forumer (kindly no spoiler ). It was my dream case since the moment i was in love in pc modding, but is not brave enough to stumble on that region. Well now

i would be giving it a try, hopefully the result will turn out great in my and your perspective. Since i had an extra motherboard lying around, might as well use that one, and in the process of thinking to do some modification to the

motherboard as well, however, that will only be slight modification. This project however, will be a long term project, as lots of modification is needed, thus, i would prefer not to rush things over. And another reason of setting this as

a longer term project is due to insufficient of fund, unless there are sponsors . So here end my introduction. Please stay tuned for the upcoming photos . p/s might take a while, currently exam .

First picture of the case ~~~ oooops my WHITE MINI HAD GROWN INTO A G5 !!

WoW another mod from the modder I inspired.

LOL thank you thank you, nvr thought that I will inspire somebody ~

Phew, finally squeezed some time for a few photos =) Got myself a cheapo cooler master casing. elite 430. Well i got it quite cheap.



Then, I start tearing apart.




Got this



The rest of the case parts of course will be utilized to the fullest, except the front panel that is.

As for the motherboard, I am still looking to trade my old motherboard for a Gene-Z since one of the forumer offered me such a deal, however, he hasn't been online for 3 days already hmmmmmmm . well in worst case, I'll re-use my EVGA P67 FTW

Did soome work over the weekend, some cutting in fact. This stage now focus on creating a custom back plate. The goal here is to achieve a seamless backplate design.

Taking out whatever tools i have:




Cutting commencing.



Result.



Whatever after the cut is filing, which will be done later. Next stage will focus on creating a backplate and mounting. I'm taking my sweet time, going slow and steady, cheers.

mod again..nice.

want to ask u, where u get that black deker dremel? and how much?

Hi pargon, the dremel, i got it online from dont know who again lol. but I've seen some in Ace Hardware, for instance the one in Puchong IOI mall, and Mid Valley Megamall, and even Sunway Pyramid. the price is around RM 340.

Lol black and decker dremel? I tot dremel was a brand name? But I prefer dremel over black and decker because dremel got lots of attactment and can be easily use as a multi function tools

yes it is a different brand name, but from what he said, he means only the rotary tool itself, , dremel is better, bt its abit hard to get its acessoories.

Yeap dremel = multi tools. Can use as many things. There's a forumer call TTLim he selling at kind of dremel attactment. Try get from him

Finished some rough filing on the inner case of power mac G5





The aim of this stage is to mount the back panel roughly this way:



Did some measurement and sample cut out:







Actual aluminium plate cut out and took long long time for filing and trimming down to ensure tight fit.

how much is the g5 casing now? need a lot of work to mod it? im quite keen on this,

There are no exact price standard. Workload depends on the extent of ur desire, how detail u want it be

as long as i can fit the motherboard and GC in it, what i need to change?

U need a mobo tray, new back panel. There are in fact lots of way to do it. Have a look at insanelymac.com. U shud find lots of sample. Beside u needs change for pus as well.

nice seeing a"nother" powermac chassis log. waiting to see the outcome and result from this thread.

Sigh, sad to announce I've decided to given up on this project. Staying in apartment is not a great idea to participate in heavy modding work =,= kena complaint zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. anyone who are interested in the case lemme knw

Wat condition now ?

Disassembled, the back panel, halfway gluing the backpanel. dats all =)
