Yeah I gonna do it that way
Thanks for this,it is very useful for me

This morning again was great time to work outside
I started with the draft, exactly where I placed the bracket of the PSU,and I decided to place it where the optical drive was(anyway I don’t use optical drives)
With this move I limited the length of VGA to the motherboard width,maybe 20mm more than motherboard width can fit,but I think it will not cause any problem
As I told,the weather is really…………

Let's get to work

In-house workshop (when wife not at home)

Zsolt Guriga · 5th Feb 2013, 20:31

From now seriously!!!!!!!!!!!

This PSU bracket,is from other old case

Cut with good old recipe, …..

Zsolt Guriga · 5th Feb 2013, 20:32

Since it is not really a suitable place for mounting the bracket, because of that I decided to take the door

Bracket in place, visually monitoring ……….

Zsolt Guriga · 5th Feb 2013, 20:33

The main tool ,to accept the nut M3

Zsolt Guriga · 5th Feb 2013, 20:34

Unfortunately I not have PSU,I use just a house of older PSU

There are small problems arise,as you can see,I must cut them

Zsolt Guriga · 5th Feb 2013, 20:35

I almost cut l 35mm, and a disc less

The PSU in place

To be continued…………..very soon

Thats a real snug fit!How will it impact on the plastic exterior?

Great work so far though i love it!

I decided to check,and I started to assemble,I need to make something like fan grill on the top of the PSU,exactly on the plastic cover

Thanks my friend

Zsolt Guriga · 11th Feb 2013, 10:59

A lot of things are done in the case, which would of course affect the external appearance, because I really like the case, I would not change it that much outside, as much as possible I keep the original look
So I decided to put together, and to check that the changes were necessary to the exterior

Zsolt Guriga · 11th Feb 2013, 11:00

Here I ran into a problem

After cutting some parts, the situation has improved

Zsolt Guriga · 11th Feb 2013, 11:01

And now its looking better

Zsolt Guriga · 19th Feb 2013, 17:35

I worked a little on it, cut a hole for the vent (140mm) from the bottom, and installed PSU that I used,and the motherboard installed too,to see space between the PSU and the motherboard
So the VGA is have to be no longer than the motherboard,its about 245mm
But with the VGA what I planning its not gonna be problem to fit in
Also the SATA cable is perfect fit,I am going to use the 90 deg side to motherboard ,its going to be ok

We can see exactly how little space there is, PSU to the motherboard, but it's enough

It's slowly getting into shape!
I like it

Yes it getting into shape,but really slowly,without HW is

I am glad you like it

Marquee · 24th Feb 2013, 12:47

Good luck on the sponsor's there hard to come by. Modding a mac is allot harder then it seems codos to you.

Thanks my friend,Im gonna need it
I agree with you its really hard work to mod a mac,but it is the point

siliconfanatic · 26th Feb 2013, 02:49

that 24pin is right next to the psu... You could do something with that

Just ALOT of measuring, ALOT of wire cutting, ALOT of wire stripping, AND ALOT of soldering+crimping. Maybe some sleeving. The result would be a real clean, pretty wire bend.

Kudos to you on realising what was preventing the plastic from fitting. I'd have been sitting there

-ing for hours on end.

Zsolt Guriga · 26th Feb 2013, 17:13

Well my plan is to hide those wires of the psu,all of them,because I really love the clear look of pc cases,I think its going to be ok,you will see
