Amazing job :thumb: for a MINI project LOL, but seriously an awesome job and your attention to details is what really made this :thumb:.
And seeing a MAC transformed in to a PC is just a bonus :haha:.

That looks amazing - for a Mac. Seriously though, it looks great :thumb: I love the actual "shape" of the case, and your collet are perfect. It almost looks like the PSU doesn't fit.

Very well done!

Just went through this thread from start to finish, and I do have to say that I am so very happy that I didn't have to wait to see the final product!

You should send this to Apple and tell them: look at the potential you had for this case! But you had to screw it up and put crap inside =(

Thanks Man, and yeah this "mini" project turned into something of a Behemoth :haha:

What Apple should take from this if anything is that they have a huge gaping hole in their product line, where's the upgradable mainstream tower Steve? As for being full of crap inside you are right, however ten years ago that was a smoking fast machine. I did a little CineBench test to see what kind of performance increase the new components have offered.

PowerPC G4 (@ 450Mhz) xCPU Render Score: 298

Intel Core i7 860 (@ 4.0Ghz) xCPU Render Score: 22953

...That's a 77X performance improvement :shok:

Awesome!!! unk:

Congrat my friend this is for sure one of the best workblog in the forum!!! If all mac could be like that they would be a lot nicer to my eyes XDXDXD Carry on with more rig!!!

wow that's looks really awesome.. I'm guessing the back i/o shield didn't fit? All the internal components look like they fit together like a glove lol:haha:

What OS are you running on it? Would it be mac OS by any chance?

edit: woah just noticed those sata cables under the psu connected to the mobo:shok: would it be possible to change them at all?
