Hi, i recently are intrested in turning a Power mac g5 into a pc. I havent or seen one of this before so had no idea what to expect, my friend had one of those and he is willing to give it to me. I have some ideas but arent sure if they work. Also idk how to achieve them.
1) Is there anyway to buy a premake plate for the io? Or a blueprint which i can make my own. Also what kind of metal can I use to get the texture as close as apple? I do not have experience with metal at all.
2) for the power supply, my initial plan is to place it somewhere inside. PSU-> male to female extension (cut and stick on the io plate)-> female to power point. Will it work?
My specs for this build: Msi H310M Pro Vd Rx570
I might upgrade to bigger motherboard and water cooling it. Will it still fit with slightly bigger board after the mod?
Thanks 🙏

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Apr 16 2020, 12:20 PM) Thank You very very much for sharing this video, it has really help me to visualize. One quick question, the PCIE case bracket will work with regular bracket? i have a few idea for this. 1) Place the motherboard+gpu slightly middle to the case, and run 'male to female HDMI/DVI' for everything. If can i wanna fit the female head to the case bracket. 2) Motherboard at the middle of the case. Run&stick PCIEx16 riser to the PCIE case bracket. Which then i just place the video card at the pcie case bracket. the problem is the PCIE case bracket standard size? will it fit? Thanks -Jenn

Alright once i get hold of the case, i will keep everyone updated i guess.
