And watercooling.įirst the mod on the case and and convert it for an ATX (BTX) MB … My goals for this Project were to preserve the look of the case at outside and fit my PC s hardware including a full ATX MB. but most of them, changed outlook of the case

As robustness, ı can say it is a PANZER. One of the most popular and ,one of the most modded beauttiful case ever made. This brings us to today.6 of my worklogs are completed it is time to beginn with another Project. I fabricated a bracket for the power supply, bolting it to the shelf. I could then move the power supply to the top-right, running a power extension down the next to the PCIE cards and the fan. I figured I could move the HDDs over to the left, due to no CD drive, I haven't used a CD since high school. I exchanged the old 1070 for the 5700xt (Due to apple having a tiff with nvidia) and replaced the water cooler with the Noctua cooler due to the pump having an irritating whine.

I totally got right on it and finished the project. Now, I definitely didnt just leave it like this for 1 1/2 years. I popped off all the existing standoffs which interfered with the new motherboard tray (I think I removed more than whats in this photo, so just use common sense here)Īnd then lined up where I had to cut out the backĪn angle grinder took care of the back and once the back plate and motherboard tray were affixed I could transplant the PC from it old case. It included the motherboard tray, aluminium backplate and a jug plug for power. I had ordered an ATX Low 120 Kit from the LazerHive. Goddamn Apple loves over engineering their computers, took me a couple solid hours to strip it all out.

I had to strip all the original components to plan my attack. I bought the original PowerMac G5 on TradeMe for $150 NZD. Ive thrown an RX 5700XT for that sweet sweet Catalina compatability and 24GB of DDR4 RAM so I can open 5 tabs on chrome (also so NodeJS can eat it all for work). The PC hardware isnt the best, with a Skylake i5 and SATA ssds, but its perfect for me.
