    I cordially greet you, and I want to welcome you to my new project,called The Apple
    After the finish of Hello Kitty-project,I was thinking a lot about a new one,and I decided to mod an Apple G4 case, the very fact that the error of ATX motherboards, and other components of course, I found it a challenge
    This mod would like to progress in the field of presentation and taken photos, which is quite far away, so to speak, from me
    My goal is to create a compact mode (PC), which in appearance and performance meets the present day
    HW used will be shown step by step, as currently only the i7 3770k own that will be the heart of this Project
    In short I want to prove that not all the old stuff for the landfill and waste
    I hope you will enjoy the new project, and that we will share impressions, ideas, and have fun
    So lets start
    A couple of pictures of the case and its condition :

    Super. ;)

    I ja već dugo tražim G5-icu da ju sredim ali nikako da nađem krepanu.

    Baš me zanima kako češ srediti ovu četvorku.

    Why do I have a strong feeling that that hex nuts gonna end up as a fill port? :lol:

    I always have liked the G4 case albeit more than the G5.


    I'm gonna get flamed...:worried:... I'm gonna get flamed...

    to nisam ni ja druže našao,ali sve u svemu ovo kućište mi je slađe od G5,jer je manji i kompaktniji
    želeo bih da spolja sačuvam osobine fabričke koliko je moguće:)

    The weather was so good in the morning, so I threw on the project
    I plotted where and how to cut the bottom of the case,so I can turned it into atx case
    and I decided to go a few steps further than pure measurement
