but I've had PC's in towers with no back pieces, fortunately for those computers they did not have a USB 3.0 card reader or large Geforce Graphics card.Power Mac G5 - Technical Specifications Configurations I may have to play around with the level of the motherboard which I am hoping not to have to as I want my PCI cards to simply screw down securely onto the back piece when it is ready.

Here are some pictures as to how it looks now with nothing hooked up, I haven't even begun brainstorming how to get my Front Panel USB device in the slot I cut for it and how it will be hanging until I can either Velcro it up (or down).Īll in all PC downtime has been a little bit over a week since I started this project, the metal cutting and cosmetic work was probably the worst part, it's still not exactly done. If things pop on I will finish the back end off and place my fans accordingly as there is plenty of space on the inside on the front bottom in front of the PSU. I guess I will know when I plug it in to the board and front inside of the tower. Thanks to the links above I was pointed in the direction of the FP Connector piece, I purchased a variant that is a little different from the main one directed to but hope the first one works as it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I ordered a Supermicro CBL084L Front Panel Connector which I am praying will connect to my motherboard and to the Front Panel Pin area for my Power On/Off switch. I sized up the PCI cards where they stick out and it will take some playing around with to get them perfect, but honestly I've purchased cases that are worse. Once I finish filing/shaving down the few spots for the back piece I can either Velcro it onto the back or use some bolts at the bottom and top to keep it tightly on. I fit a small fan with some perfectly in 1 spot inside the tower so far but have not worried too much about connecting anything yet.
Using Dual Lock Velcro for basically everything (the same as what goes on the EZ Pass Toll Payer to keep the tag on the window) and it's worked great, it's held the motherboard chassis to the inside panel of the tower along with some more dual sided tape. I need to file down the back part in 2 or 3 spots but it fits on pretty much perfect. and I apologize for all the pictures but they are here for documentation and possible help if someone recognizes what I am posting. anyone have any suggestions or answers? I appreciate any response, thanks. If there is an adapter or anything I should need to purchase, or just buy a new power button and put it on the side of the case somewhere that will do. I am hoping I did not cut anything necessary as I had the saw out to cut a lot of stuff out of the G5 case. I have always used Asus boards and have had the same Mid/Full Size old ATX Tower so I never had issues with finding the cords to the power button from the case. What will I need to get my motherboard to turn on the G5 Case through the button, I am a total newb to any of this conversion type stuff. I haven't begun putting my system into the G5 case yet more than so for spacing and figuring out what will go where and what needs space to fit. I have taken pictures of the empty G5 Case where the Power Button connection is, and the spot on my current ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe. The Tower's Power On Button, yes sounds simple but I am completely lost. I liked the case a lot (as I have seen others have too) and decided to convert it into my new PC tower.Įverything besides cutting some stuff out after gutting the Apple system out has gone perfectly, I will eventually solder shelves where and if needed, and I am not worried about much.
either way I ran into a Powermac G5 Case that was not being used. Hello all, I apologize if I've missed anything that could have answered my question.
